Spark your own legacy and wear a little piece of history, with our new fine jewellery collection, ideal for layering and pairing with everyday classics. The 1842 collection, pays homage to the year when Gustav Fabergé opened his jewellery boutique in St. Petersburg. Comprising 11 pieces, this fine jewellery collection is inspired by the gold jewellery and precious accessories Fabergé began producing in the years before the first Imperial Egg was born. Luminating warmth and shine, every creation in the collection showcases our iconic egg-shaped hallmark, in 18k yellow gold. This versatile collection can be worn solo or layered to create a unique look.
While it was the magnificent Imperial Easter eggs that made the House of Fabergé a world-renowned name, these represent only a fraction of its artistic creations. The Workmasters at Fabergé transformed everything from cigarette cases to clocks and picture frames into imaginative works of art. It was this trademark ability to enhance everyday objects through the application of sophisticated goldsmithing and gemstone-setting and of course its world-renowned enamelling techniques, that made Fabergé internationally famous throughout the royal courts of Europe. Popular commissions included small pieces of jewellery such as brooches, cufflinks and stickpins decorated with imperial symbols.
These smaller, more versatile, designs are what have inspired our new collection – a contemporary range perfect for everyday use, and designed to complement the wearer’s unique, signature style. The 1842 collection is defined by timeless beauty, with clean lines and contemporary silhouettes, transforming our iconic egg shape into everyday wearable creations. The design of this Fabergé hallmark originally took its inspiration from the Cyrillic letter for F – Ф – as seen in many of the house’s pre-1917 masterpieces.
In keeping with our penchant for surprise, a ruby, responsibly sourced from Gemfields’ Montepuez ruby mine in Mozambique, is hidden within. Rubies are a symbol of passion, prosperity and protection, making them the perfect secret addition to this striking new collection.
