This piece was made in St. Petersburg from 1917-1928. The piece is marked "56", "KF" and "AH". The "A.H" stands for August Wilhelm Holmstrom, he was one of Faberge's beloved jewelry finish masters. He also had his own shop. Ring sz. 5.5. You will never see another piece like this by Faberge as they do not exist.
