Necklaces made with emeralds that are nearly the size of golf balls. Bracelets and earrings encrusted with diamonds and rubies that sparkle from every angle. Radiant pieces of jewellery that have been worn by famous women through the decades, including Italy's Princess Olimpia Torlonia and actresses Elizabeth Taylor, Ingrid Bergman, Alicia Vikander and Shu Qi.

These are just some of the pieces on show at Bvlgari's Tribute To Femininity exhibition at the Moscow Kremlin Museums in Russia.
