A striking vintage miniature egg pendant (c.1990), crafted in St. Petersburg by artisans working in the celebrated Hermitage tradition. This example features the classic mixed-metal construction of the late Soviet workshops, combining 750 (18k) gold with 960 silver, a hallmark of the elite jewelers who continued the Fabergé lineage into the 20th century.
The surface is lavishly pavé set with shimmering white crystals framed by elegant scrolling silver overlays that wrap around the egg in flowing, ribbon like bands. Delicate black enamel accents and fine milgrain detailing add depth and contrast to the design, enhancing the pendant’s richly dimensional appearance. The sculptural ornamentation and intricate craftsmanship reflect the enduring influence of Imperial Russian decorative arts and the opulent Fabergé aesthetic revived by Leningrad jewelers during the late Soviet era. Sophisticated and dramatic in execution, the overall effect is luxurious, refined, and unmistakably rooted in the grand tradition of Russian jeweled objects.
A combination of art, tradition, craftsmanship and precious metals.
