As well as the Personal jewels and items – found at Tobolsk in 1933 such as the Aquamarine stomacher formed of twigs stutted with diamonds.
The imperial diamond fond: Peter I. has founded this fond to which each emperor or empress had to make some deposits at various distinctive occasions like coronations or when celebrating a jubilee. The wedding-parures of each of the crown princesses were also a regular donation to the fond. In the Winter-Place was a special department which took care of the fond and the Lord Stewards had the right to force deposits of the monarchs if they had the feeling that a monarch was not so generous, so that the fond was still growing over the centuries.
