The collection at the Treasure Galleries holds a very rich selection of jewellery masterpieces owned by the Russian Imperial family. Two magnificent halls present their visitors with many master works of jewellery from various countries, belonging to different epochs, from ancient times to the early 20th century

The first gallery, called the Golden Rooms has works from Eurasia, the Black Sea Littoral in antiquity, and the Orient. It consists of around 1,500 works made from gold and dating from the 7th century B.C. to the 19th century A.D.

The main idea of the second section, which is called the Diamond Rooms, is to show the development of the jeweler's craft over the course of mankind's many centuries of history from the third millennium B.C. to the start of the 20th century.
