Ocean Egg
Hover to zoom into creation.
The Ocean Egg, a creation by Theo Fabergé, depicts the mysterious marine life within the deep, swaying waters of the ocean. The Egg, made of 24% lead crystal with delicately hand-painted aquatic grasses in 24-karat gold, gently surround the colourful tropical fish. The red-and-white clownfish has discovered treasure: a faceted ruby, lifted from the sand by the swirling current on the seabed.
Looking through the Egg, a shy seahorse can be seen hidden amongst the swaying leaves.
The Egg is offset with the Imperial Russian Crown in vermeil, set with a cabochon ruby, and stands on an ornamentally turned 18-karat gilded decorative base.
