“This is gold, Mr. Bond. All my life I’ve been in love with its colour… its brilliance, its divine heaviness.” Auric Goldfinger
Introducing the Fabergé x 007 Goldfinger Egg Objet - Numbered Edition, a precious collector's piece, hand crafted from 18k yellow gold, yellow and white diamonds and black nephrite jadeite, in a limited edition of 50.
This is the second Fabergé x 007 egg objet and is inspired by the Fort Knox gold depository safe at the centre of the Goldfinger story. The gold bars inside the egg represent Goldfinger’s passion for gold and are a nod to the film’s title song lyrics, “He loves only gold.”
Details. This immaculately crafted, imaginatively conceived creation tells a story of an obsession. 18k gold is melded and sculpted in miniature detail with an entirely new mechanism, exclusively created for James Bond. The egg is embellished with 143 round brilliant cut fancy intense yellow diamonds with a total weight of 2.96ct, while the white gold stand features 16 round brilliant cut white diamonds with a total weight of 0.39ct F-G VS+.
The exterior. Meticulously crafted in 18k yellow gold, the curved egg shape is based on a heavily armoured and studded vault, complete with hinged doors and rotating central handle. The front of the egg features a six prong safe combination lock, anchored with 007 at the centre. By rotating this lock anti-clockwise, two bolts move, allowing the safe door to be opened. This style of opening mechanism is a first for Fabergé, and took months of development to perfect.
The interior. Upon gaining access to the safe, a stack of gold bars becomes visible, nestled inside and surrounded by 140 brilliant cut yellow diamonds.
The stand. The egg is mounted on an 18k white gold stem set with 16 round brilliant-cut white diamonds, which is fixed to a carved black nephrite jadeite base.
Dimensions. Egg diameter 53mm, H67mm, with base H100mm
The makers. Fabergé, the world’s most iconic artist jeweller, creates extraordinary jewellery, watches and objets d’art, as well as bespoke commissions for a discerning international clientele. Founded in 1842, Fabergé has been one of the most revered names in jewellery ever since Peter Carl Fabergé created the 50 ingenious Imperial Easter Eggs for the Romanov family between 1885 and 1916.
The egg objet is part of the Fabergé Goldfinger collection which also includes the Fabergé x 007 Egg Safe Locket with Ruby Heart Surprise.
