More information

In 1913, the firm Bolin, which had by then changed its name to W.A. Bolin, opened a store in Bad Homburg, a town in southern Germany where the Imperial family and the Russian court spent parts of their summers. With the outbreak of World War I, some of the jewellery that were in the German inventory but manufactured in Russia were transferred to Sweden for storage. In 1916, W.A. Bolin opened a store in Stockholm, and a large portion of the jewelry on offer was made in Russia, such as this magnificent emerald and diamond brooch. The case lid is stamped with both Stockholm and Moscow, as Wilhelm Bolin planned to move back to Russia as soon as it was possible and expected that the workshop in Moscow would soon be up and running again after the war. The Russian Revolution put an end to his plans.
