Product Description
On his deathbed, Tsarevich Nikolai Alexandrovich asked his fiancee, the Princess Dagmar of Denmark, to marry his younger brother Alexander. She agreed, and the two were engaged on June 23, 1866. Tsarevich Alexander (later Alexander III) presented the princess with an elaborate pendant watch with both the Danish and Russian coats of arms. Our jewelry is based on a pearl drop suspended from a crown at the bottom of this royal watch.
