About the Item
Presenting a rich and finely egg pendant adorned with foliage ornamentation encrusted with four garnets and four diamonds. The body of the egg features hand-engraved yellow polished and brushed gold that creates a fantastic contrast. It is truly an enchanting piece of jewelry.
This exceptional Russian Silver Gilt Jewelry item is a highly sought-after collectible.
We assume that this is a 19th-century Faberge pendant egg. But we didn't find any markings. The absence of a hallmark is not a flaw, but an intriguing feature. Based on an expert assessment of style, craftsmanship, and materials, we are inclined to view this piece as a rare early work from the Fabergé workshop—a period when hallmarking was not yet a strict norm.
There are two other, equally compelling hypotheses: either this is the first, prototypical specimen of this pendant egg design within its series, or it is a unique, personalized item created for a special, inner-circle recipient as a private gift. In any of these scenarios, we are dealing with an exceptional object whose story only adds to its aura of mystery and value.
The pendant measures approximately 20.9 mm in length.
The weight is 10.7 grams.
The egg pendant is in excellent vintage condition.
