Fabergé and James Bond reveal new additions to the Fabergé x 007 collaboration, including a new egg surprise locket in celebration of the 60th anniversary of Goldfinger (1964) and a ring to join the Fabergé x 007 Octopussy capsule collection.
“This is gold, Mr. Bond. All my life I’ve been in love with its colour… its brilliance, its divine heaviness.”
The first piece to be unveiled in the new Fabergé x 007 Goldfinger capsule collection is the Fabergé x 007 Goldfinger Egg Safe Locket with Ruby Heart Surprise. Available to purchase and pre-order from 16th October 2024, this 18k yellow gold locket is inspired by the Fort Knox gold depository safe, a central part of the film’s plot. It is in an egg shape, which opens to reveal a responsibly mined Gemfields Mozambican heart-shaped ruby encased within. This is the first time Fabergé has created an egg surprise locket which opens in this fashion. The ruby heart nestled inside is dripping in gold and represents Goldfinger’s passion for gold and is a reference to the title song lyrics, “He loves only gold.” The bail of the pendant is inspired by the shape of the ‘G’, for Goldfinger, and in the same font, like the signet ring that the character wears in the film.
The Fabergé x 007 Octopussy Ring is crafted from 18k brushed yellow gold and is a show-stopping octopus ring that wraps around the wearer’s finger. Forty-eight round brilliant-cut diamonds, which represent the octopus’ suckers, sparkle on the tentacles, one appearing to climb up the finger when worn, while two round brilliant cut diamonds characterise its eyes. In keeping with Fabergé’s penchant for surprise, a responsibly mined Gemfields Mozambican ruby is hidden on the inside of the ring band, a secret only the wearer will know. The octopus pays homage to the eponymous antagonist at the centre of the Octopussy film.
These new creations are available to pre-order from today and join the Fabergé x 007 Octopussy Egg Surprise Locket and Limited-Edition Fabergé x 007 Octopussy Egg Objet, which were revealed in March 2024.
Designed by Fabergé Head of Design, Liisa Tallgren, and overseen by Fabergé Creative Director, Josina von dem Bussche-Kessell, the Fabergé x 007 creations are a symphony of past, present and future, with nods to two legendary James Bond films.
“Another set of beautiful additions to our Fabergé x 007 James Bond Partnership with EON, these collectible pieces continue to commemorate iconic symbols and themes from the Bond universe and are brought to life in signature Fabergé styles.” Josina von dem Bussche-Kessell, Fabergé Creative Director.
“The glamour and appreciation of beauty and culture is where the worlds of Bond and Fabergé meet, a perfect place to create a collection of very special pieces that honour both Fabergé heritage and Bond storytelling.” Liisa Tallgren, Fabergé Head of Design.
