Saturday Sparkle: Easter Edition: A Lovely Fabregé Egg

Easter Egg Pendant
Michael Perchin
1896-1903
Gold, Enamel, Diamonds
The Royal Collection
Though Stalking the Belle Époque is taking a brief hiatus for Easter, I thought I’d keep a Royal tradition alive and present you all with a Fabregé egg—or at least a picture of one from The Royal Collection.


This gorgeous enamel and diamond pendant dates between 1896 and 1903 and is the work of Fabregé artist, Michael Perchin. It was purchased by Queen Alexandra while still Princess of Wales as an Easter Gift.

Everything about this piece is stunning—from the magnificent blue to the glitter of the diamonds.
