Open the Egg, and in the tradition of the Fabergé family, the surprise, formed in sterling silver and decorated with 24-karat gold, is the Menorah designed by Benno Elkan and presented by the British Parliament to stand in front of the Knesset. The Menorah is decorated with 18 brilliant-cut diamonds and is recreated in miniature detail with 7 faceted rubies representing the light of the candles. Theo had chosen this Menorah as the surprise in part inspired by a beautiful menorah he hand-crafted in 1987 using diverse materials including gold, pink ivory, mammoth ivory and ebony wood.
Theo Fabergé’s 60th Anniversary Egg is an eloquent testimony to the world’s applause for the endurance of the State of Israel. Its fine craftsmanship and exquisite design bear witness to mankind’s lasting aspiration for beauty and truth.
