Lot Essay

It has been suggested that collars with fewer than seventeen medallions were produced for young Grand Dukes or Princes in the Imperial family.

The Eduard workshops were known to manufacture orders from 1894-1917. Following the death of her husband Eduard in 1910, Vera Dietwald inherited the business and the hallmark was thenceforth conjoined with her initials.
