Imagine owning a jewelry collection so legendary that it was second only to the Tsar’s in all of Imperial Russia. That was the world of Princess Zinaida Yusupova , the richest and most glamorous woman in Tsarist Russia.
She wore the legendary Peregrina Pearl (once owned by the Kings of Spain) and the dazzling 41 carat Polar Star Diamond. But when the Bolshevik Revolution swept everything away in 1917, the Yusupovs made a daring escape.
They sewed their most priceless pearls and diamonds into the linings of their clothes and fled to Paris. The heavier chests of gold and jewels were hidden inside secret walls in their palace basement… only to be discovered years later. Most were lost forever , melted down or vanished into history.
The woman who once walked on gold eventually sold her imperial jewels just to buy bread and keep her family alive.
