Russian Winter, by Daphne Kalotay
Interesting and well written historical fiction about a Bolshoi ballerina who defected to the West in the early '60s. When Nina Revskaya, known in ballet circles as "The Butterfly" decides to auction off her famous jewelry collection, the researcher assigned to get background on each piece uncovers hidden histories thought left behind the Berlin Wall. Made me very much want to go look at amber with inclusions.
