Fabergé Friday

Last Friday I showed you one of Fabergé's brooches, and here is another one! It was made by workmaster Alfred Thielemann, around 1910.

The brooch is made in Art Deco style, of silver-topped gold.

It is set with a big faceted aquamarine, one brilliant, and many rose-cut diamonds. The length of the brooch is 6.2 cm, and it has been sold at Romanov Russia.

Fabergé Friday

This Friday I have a something really beautiful for you! Although most Fabergé objects are wonderful, there are still a few ones that shines even brighter in the eyes of the beholder. Like this pendant for example. It was made sometime between the years 1899 and 1908!

The pendant is 3.7'' (9.5 cm) high and shaped like a quiver of arrows. It is made of white gold, with a large aquamarine in the center. Around it hangs two laurel swags set with rose-cut diamonds, that ends in a tied ribbon at the top - also set with diamonds. Beneath the aquamarine hangs a heart-shaped diamond. From the diamond-encrusted ends of the arrows sticking up from the quiver runs a chain set with a tied bow, decorated with even more diamonds.

Today we'll take a look at something more feminine than last Friday - a Fabergé Eternity Brooch, made sometime between 1899 and 1908!

The brooch is designed as an open work plaque, with a collet-set aquamarine set in the middle. The frame around it is made as two interlaced loops, set with rose-cut diamonds. Inside the four loops surrounding the center are four arrows - each set with an old brilliant-cut diamond - representing eternity.

The brooch is 1 1/8 inches (3 cm) wide, and can be bought at Romanov Russia for 65,000 USD.
