Theo Fabergé’s creation melds the materials and skills made famous by the Fabergés at the Imperial Court of St Petersburg at the turn of the last century. The PINK ORCHID EGG is engine–turned and guilloché enameled in pristine white. Sterling silver orchid sprays, decorated with 24–karat gold and hand–enameled in pink, adorn the upper sides of the Egg. The lower half is offset with further sprays of enamel, gold and silver with the famous Fabergé swags formed in stylized orchid leaves bearing eight full–cut diamonds — one for each of Theo’s eight decades. The finial, set with a cabochon ruby, represents the Romanov Imperial Crown. The base is ornamentally turned on Theo Fabergé’s own Holzapffel lathe.

The surprise within is a classic jardinière, hand–carved in ebony and holding an orchid in bud and in bloom. The jardinière may be lifted out to be displayed adjacent to the closed Egg and bears the full hallmark. Further orchid sprays lie on the surrounding velvet floor, one set with a faceted white diamond.

The PINK ORCHID EGG is the second in Theo’s Flower series, the first being the POPPY EGG. The PINK ORCHID EGG pursues a family tradition of objets d’art and its individual presentation assures the enhancement of every beautiful dwelling.
