Fabergé Diamond Brooch

This sophisticated brooch, composed of swirling motifs and glittering white diamonds, hails from the famed Russian House of Fabergé. Crafted with undeniable charm and taste by the iconic Carl Fabergé, this brooch features approximately 2.00 carats of Old Mine-cut diamonds that shine in their 18K gold and platinum settings.

The House of Fabergé was founded in 1842 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, by Gustav Faberge. In 1872, Peter Carl Fabergé took over his father's small jewelry atelier and transformed it into the world's largest decorative arts enterprise of its kind. The firm built a devoted clientele, including members of the Romanov Imperial family, for whom they crafted their most precious pieces and the firm’s celebrated Easter eggs. In 1917, the Russian Revolution brought an end to the Romanov dynasty, the exile of Peter Carl Fabergé to Switzerland and a definitive halt to the original House of Fabergé. In the wake of the Revolution, many Fabergé treasures were lost or destroyed. This brooch, crafted by Swedish-Finnish workmaster August Frederik Hollming (1854-1915), is exemplary of the high-quality, luxury creations of the firm that remain prized by collectors. The brooch comes set in its fitted box.
