caption_attribution_description: Русский: Большая Императорская Корона. Копия, изготовленная компанией "Смоленские бриллианты" в 2012 году. Авторы не ставили задачу точно повторить оригинал. Это невозможно в силу ряда причин: бриллианты царской короны имеют устаревшую огранку, в ней использован не самый удачный материал – серебро, а самое главное – простое копирование не позволило бы продемонстрировать технологический прогресс и высшую степень мастерства, достигнутого ювелирами и огранщиками в наши дни. Количество бриллиантов увеличено с 4,936 до 11.426. Вместо серебра использовано белое золото. Вместо шпинели корону увенчивает камень рубеллит. Общий вес драгоценных камней – 1928 карат, вес короны – 2,6 кг. Вместо шпинели в изделии закреплен уникальный огромный природный рубеллит массой 384 карата. Ювелирный проект был осуществлен ОАО «ПО «Кристалл» и ювелирной группой «Смоленские бриллианты» с использованием российских бриллиантов, ограненных по идеальным параметрам классификации Triple и DoubleExcellent. http://www.smolenskdiamonds.ru/news/468/English: Jewelry project "Creation of Imperial Crown of Russia in modern interpretation" The project is timed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the diamond industry in Russia, the flagship of which is manufacturer Kristall and it is the 10th anniversary of the Smolensk Diamonds group. The new crown was made of white gold (in original is used silver) and 11,426 diamonds (in original 4,936) of ideal faceting and quality characteristics. The spinel in the replica was replaced with a unique natural red tourmaline with a mass of about 400 karats.

context_page_description: The Imperial Crown of Russia, also known as the Great Imperial Crown, was used by the monarchs of Russia from 1762 until the Russian monarchy's abolition in 1917. The Great Imperial Crown was first used in a coronation by Catherine the Great, and it was last worn at the coronation of Nicholas II. It was displayed prominently next to Nicholas II on a cushion at the State Opening of the Russian Duma inside the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg in 1906. It survived the 1917 revolution and is currently on display in Moscow at the Kremlin Armoury's State Diamond Fund.
