The "Ceylon Sapphire Diadem". A favorite of Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. Made during the reign of Tsar Paul I. A modern replica was created by brothers Duvall. The original diadem was presented to GD Alexandra by her father Pavel I (son of Catherine II) in 1799, for Alexandra's wedding. Interesting, even the same diadem belonged to Queen of the Netherlands, but Sophie's diadem also created by Duvall, was decorated by gems instead of 5 sapphires seen in this Romanov's diadem.
