A Monegasque in the rough

When the Kremlin crown jewels come knocking

The soviet government has been selling Siberian diamonds, famous for their quality, through its officia! Geneva diamond office, since the l 950s·60s. However, I never had any direct contact with the state organization ALROSA, which marketed them, because they were almost always round, medium-sized diamonds destined for mass jewelry, and the minimum quantities required were really too significant for our House.
