Jeweler to the last two czars of the Romanov dynasty, Peter Carl Fabergé (Russian, 1846-1920) emphasized creativity and workmanship in designing his dazzling objects d'art. Among these is an exquisite frame (made before 1896) of rock crystal, gold, rose diamonds, and guilloché enamel, with a photograph of Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna (1864-1918), who in 1884 married the brother of Czar Alexander III. The original frame, in the British Royal Collection, is the source for our chic hand-enameled watch with Czech crystals. Produced in cooperation with the British Royal Collection.

Our sophisticated pendant watch is based on an original gold and enamel miniature Fabergé egg (1896 -1903) in the collection of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The ultimate achievement of the House of Fabergé is the series of jeweled Easter eggs created for Czars Alexander III and Nicholas II of Russia. These delicate "works of fantasy" often memorialized important occasions in the reign of the Imperial Romanov family. Produced in cooperation with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
