But the exclusive Golden Ring of Elena Obraztsova with a rare emerald and 36 diamonds made on individual design for the opera prima became the main lot.

All proceeds will go for treatment of two children who have oncological diseases. Artem Abramovich (14 years) underwent already seven operations and needs one. The boy at home, but, despite difficulties studies, Artem is strong in spirit, always smiles, is positively ready, inquisitive and as far as possible masters the equipment.
