If you were lucky enough to earn an invitation to one of the Winter Palace balls of the late 19th-century, you would have witnessed Russian opulence on a grand scale. To put it mildly, Tsar Alexander III and his wife Maria Feodorovna knew how to throw a party. From the sprawling decorations and impeccably-dressed servants to the glittering guests of the royal family who absolutely dripped with diamonds and gems, the evening was a dazzling celebration of extreme wealth and privilege.

You can't go back and add your name to the guest list, but you're welcome to use your imagination and either one (or both) of these remarkable Empress Bracelets. Each features a 7-1/2chain of linked rectangles that sparkle with exceptional detail. The individual rectangles hold two lab-created rubies (or two lab-created sapphires) set in tarnish-resistant .925 sterling silver. On each side of the colored stones you'll find a quartet of brilliant-cut, lab-created DiamondAura®. Fastens with a sturdy, .925 sterling silver box clasp with safety side catches. Once on the wrist, the bracelet can give any woman the sensation that she's waltzing across the white marble of the Winter Palace main hall.
