For the Moscow exhibition of 1882, the Faberge firm prepared a stand with exact copies of jewelry from the Kerch treasure. Jewelry work was carried out by Eric Collin, the leading master of the firm, and several other employees. Seven craftsmen worked on the neck decoration of this collection for 120 days. The exposition of copies of jewelry from the Scythian treasure brought the house of Faberge the admiration of visitors and the jury, a gold medal and fame. Experts believe that it was with the success at the Moscow exhibition that the ascent of the Faberge firm to the heights of glory began.
This brooch with amethyst and pearls is a copy of the brooch from the Scythian treasure that you see on the stand.
