The silky texture and earthy flavor of Russian Imperial Ossetra caviar was once exclusively a royal treat. Just about 10 percent of all Russian Ossetra caught in the Caspian Sea gets the “imperial” title. Now anyone can indulge in the sturgeon roe, but the best in caviar comes at a king’s ransom. Russian Imperial Ossetra Caviar, 2 ounces, $310. www.caviarexpress.com
Vibrant hand-painted flowers blossom across dark metal trays in traditional Russian folk art from the Zhostovo village, a Moscow suburb. The double brush technique dates to the early 19th century. Each Zhostovo tray from Tradestone Gallery is unique and signed by the artist. $75. www.tradestonegallery.com
Nesting dolls might seem the ubiquitous Russian souvenir, but fine matryoshka dolls offer as much insight into Russian life as into the mastery of the artist. This lacquered, blue-eyed beauty showcases rural Russian life during winter, including a snow-covered wooden house and fir tree, a peasant strumming a balalaika, and glittering traditional headdresses. Winterlife matryoshka dolls, $110. www.tradestonegallery.com
Beautiful honey-colored amber is fossilized tree resin. This necklace features perfectly round, large Baltic amber beads. $1,199.99 www.lilianainternational.com. Michael Crichton fans might appreciate a less polished piece that holds a fossil within a fossil. A Pippin Bass pendant features an ancient mosquito trapped in an amber tomb and hanging from a sterling silver clasp. $286. www.pippinbass.com
