Some of Faberge's clients dared to emulate the Imperial Family in their Easter customs, ordering their own eggs from Faberge. The most sought after objects from Faberge have always been those crafted in gold or silver and covered with delicately coloured coats of enamel.
These splendid egg-shaped enamelled pendants comprise numerous styles such as Empire, Gothic, Renaissance, Arabic, Persian. They are enriched with Russian feeling that gives a touch of lightness and elegance to each item.
Our shop offers you the wide range of intricate pendants created in the Faberge style. There are also Easter Eggs of different shapes, materials and designs featuring the Russian Imperial motifs.
