MOISEIKIN Moscow<br />
The MOISEIKIN Gallery & Museum,<br />
opened to celebrate the 20th<br />
anniversary of the MOISEIKIN<br />
company, only exhibits items that<br />
the company is proud of and those<br />
that refl ect its prestigious<br />
reputation as a manufacturer of<br />
fi ne jewellery, including rare<br />
hardstone carvings and graceful<br />
fl oral miniatures.<br />
Among the exhibits, you will<br />
fi nd ‘Oil Drop’, an extraordinary<br />
and unique piece that<br />
encapsulates and symbolises the<br />
enormous wealth of Russia’s<br />
natural resources. It is cut from a<br />
single large crystal of dolerite,<br />
using advanced faceting<br />
technology. The MOISEIKIN<br />
company spent an entire year<br />
constructing a machine capable of<br />
performing this task, and it took a<br />
further year to do the faceting<br />
itself. Now the largest faceted<br />
stone in the world, Oil Drop weighs<br />
55,000 carats, and the surface is<br />
covered by 2,260 individual facets.<br />
This fascinating museum,<br />
located in Moscow, can be easily<br />
reached via the Prospekt Mira<br />
metro station. Attendance<br />
