The most exquisite pins take an extraordinary amount of time to create using brushes as thin as a single animal hair. Extremely durable, these pins are actually more dense than wood and most are finished with many coats of lacquer. Enjoy these on a coat, in your hat or on a dress. Amber We'll be adding amber pieces to our catalog shortly. Most of the amber from Russia comes from Kaliningrad.
Russian amber can be traditional honey-colored pieces to a soft warm yellow.
We will be offering earrings, brooches, necklaces and other amber for far less than what most stores charge. Lacquer Boxes Lacquer boxes are the most famous of all Russian crafts, and rightfully so. Collectors the world over are constantly amazed at the sheer artistic virtuosity that is inherent in each unique box. There are four different schools of Russian lacquer boxes. It will usually take a magnifying glass to see these.
