Fabergé's history of making Easter eggs dates back to the 19th century, when it was custom-made for the Russian royal family, and it combines traditional jewelry techniques such as handmade gold carving, enamel, and gem setting.
Sarah Fabergé, great-granddaughter of Fabergé founder Peter Carl Fabergé, once said: "The Faberge Easter egg is one of the most remarkable and heartwarming in history, and it is all about my great-grandfather's legend and craftsmanship. ”
It can be said that the Beguire family is inseparable from the Easter egg carving, and today let's first appreciate the Faberge Egg series in the context of the current design

Heritage
series
Russian jeweler Fabergé has launched a new Pearl series egg pendant - a panda holding a golden bamboo hidden in an enamel egg as a surprise, and the cute image is cute.
Gently opening the Easter egg, the eye jumps into view is a cute giant panda, sitting on the lawn leisurely nibbling on bamboo - this giant panda's "black circles" are inlaid with 4 black diamonds, bamboo is made of gold, and the lawn under the giant panda is green chalcedony, the details are very careful.
In the enamel egg - a small penguin dancing happily on the ice is presented, and the silly image comes alive.
Gently opening the Easter egg, you will be greeted by a cheerful little penguin – the penguin is made of gold, the white enamel shows the small penguin's round belly, the short limbs seem to be dancing happily, embellished with a flexible round diamond eye; the "ice surface" of antarctica is made of white agate and imitates the natural formation of ice cubes.
The design is inspired by a white onyx polar bear sculpture made by Fabergé in 1909.
In 1909, American celebrity Virginia Fair Vanderbilt bought the small sculpture at Fabergé's London store for £26.10 as a gift from her Scottish friend Berthe de Ganay. More than a hundred years later, the work was unveiled at Christie's London auction in 2017 and is estimated at £200,000 to £300,000
A playful little polar bear is hidden in an enamel egg as a surprise, which is very suitable for the winter atmosphere.
Gently opening the Easter egg, a small polar bear is sitting on the "ice surface", looking into the distance with its eyes wide open - the polar bear is made of white gold, showing a rounded and full body, the surface is painted with white enamel, and the smart eyes are inlaid with 2 black diamonds to highlight the smart look; the "ice surface" is made of white agate, imitating the rough texture of the ice cubes.
Fabergé continues the tradition of "hiding surprises" in Easter eggs, introducing a number of hollow egg pendants that hide symbols such as ladybugs, hearts and clovers painted with colorful enamel to express beautiful meanings.
The most ornate is the two gold-carved "Hen" Egg Pendants, which pay homage to the golden rooster elements in fabergé's famous Easter egg "Imperial Hen Egg" made for the Russian royal family in 1885.

Essence's work consists of 6 pendants in light blue, light pink, light green, yellow-green and blue-purple tones, and the side edge of the egg shell is decorated with a round diamond or colored stone, which naturally contrasts with the bright lacquer color.
