Fabergé Friday

Today's Fabergé object is once again one of those very useful bell pushes! This one was made around 1900!




The quatrefoil shaped bell push is made of pale green bowenite with bun feet of two-colored gold. The top is decorated with gold sprays of foliage, with a central ribbon holding a diamond. There are four press studs made of four different gems - sapphire, moonstone, amethyst and ruby. The size of the bell push is 0.9'' x 2.6'' x 2.2'' (2.4 x 6.7 x 5.6 cm), and it is now part of the Royal Collection.

Fabergé Friday

And this Friday's Fabergé object is - a hat pin! Made by workmaster August Hollming, around 1890!




As you can see, Fabergé's famous eggs were used for many different things - even as hat pins. This 6'' (15.2 cm) long pin is made of gold, with it's egg-shaped head covered in translucent mauve enamel over a hatched surface. Around the base of the egg sits a chased leaf collar, and at it's top a diamond set terminal. For 14,000 USD it can get a new home at any (rich) hat lover. Get it here!
