AN ANTIQUE RUSSIAN ENAMEL AND DIAMOND COMMEMORATIVE BROOCH
Designed as a white enamelled life buoy spelling the word "Tsarevna" in gold, partly covered with the blue and white finnish flag to a gold mount, Russian, 19th Century
The Imperial Yacht Tsarevna ("daughter to the Tsar") was built 1874 in England for Emperor Alexander II, but primarily used by his successor, Emperor Alexander III, for short trips off the coast around St. Petersburg and vacation trips to the Finnish skerries. Emperor Alexander III and his wife, Empress Maria Feodorovna (the Danish born princess Dagmar) frequently visited Finland. The elegant yacht was decommissioned in 1917.
