Today, many of the lavish gifts that Russian czars received during numerous visits from the Ottoman Turks and the Safavids of Iran remain preserved in the treasury of the Kremlin. Until now, most of the objects had never been on public display outside Russia. This summer, 65 of the Kremlin’s finest works, some pulled for the first time from the storage vaults of the Kremlin armory, are on view at the Smithsonian’s Arthur M. Sackler Gallery through September 13, 2009.

Heard On The Street

It's really hard to buy gemstones at the right price. Half of all gemstones that trades in the market never sees a broker. We believe you've got to have a lot of local knowledge of the marketplace. Gem dealers are smart and they talk. And if one gem dealer rolls into town and makes a bid, suddenly all of the prices go up.

Interesting to watch because they give a realistic view of an unreal picture. Brilliant!
