FM Twin: Franklin Mint House of Faberge SterlingSilver Gilt Enamel Scallop Egg Pendant Russian Style with 18\" Italian-Made Vermeil Chain

Weight in grams: 7.6 (egg only)

Size Range: Medium

Length excluding bale in mm and inches: 22 and 7/8ths

Composition: crystals, sterling silver gilt (vermeil)

Hallmarked? Yes

Condition: Excellent -simply gorgeous

Design: This vintage egg was made by the same company and in the exact same traditional scallop style as the famous Franklin Mint cobalt blue House of Faberge egg. There are only two inconsequential differences. This egg does not come with a Franklin Mint box and this egg has a hallmark of \"925\" on the jump ring. The actual FM egg has no hallmark. This is a rare opportunity to pick up this very well made egg for much less than the cost of the actual FM egg.

This is the twin of the famous 1997 Franklin Mint House ofFaberge Russian Style Sterling Silver Gilt Enamel Pendant made of solidsterling silver, 24k gilt vermeil, enameled guilloche and 20 faceted Austriancrystals. The gorgeous traditional scalloped design is done in a rich cobalt blue. Comes with asilver gift box and I am including a sparkly 18\" gold over sterling (vermeil) chain that is marked 925 and Italy. Excellent condition.

Note: Bright light makes the color appear purple but this is actually a royal rich deep cobalt blue, very pretty.

This listing is for one egg pendant. The egg display treeand case shown in some photos is not included.

About the Eggs: In coming weeks, I will be listing a large collection of over120 antique, vintage and almost-new egg pendants and related jewelry items,most of them made from gilded sterling silver, but some made from solid 14kgold, gilded porcelain, crystal, genuine gemstones, and art glass. Most will beof the Russian Faberge style, but there will also be some beautiful examples from Italyand other egg-laying nations. The last photo shows you a sampling of thecollection that is being sold, one egg at a time.

Many of the finest egg pendants are not hallmarked. I haveyears of experience with fine jewelry and guarantee every statement maderegarding precious metal. If an egg I sell you is not made of the statedmaterials, you are entitled to a full refund including yourshipping, upon return. I have an all-sales-final policy to keep my prices low, but I standbehind the accuracy of my descriptions.

The condition on all of the eggs is excellent pre-owned,unless otherwise stated. That means there is no damage. The enamel is intact, thebale is present, and all crystals and gems are present. Each pendant comes witha new square or rectangular gift box.

Some eggs may have some natural toning (darkening of thesilver over time) or minor wear (contact marks) from use around the bale. Soplease study the photos to be sure the condition is to your liking.

Some of these hand-made pendants are rare types, shaped likeother round objects like pumpkin, acorn, eggplant, and crown; and a few are statementpieces, very large and magnificent.

Starting offers and Buy-It-Now prices will be as much as 80%less than their original price when new. Please re-visit my store to see theentire collection as it is listed.

These amazing little silver masterpieces are so much fun tocollect. You can learn more about them by reading my 5 page Egg Pendant BuyingGuide:

Here is an excerpt from the Buying Guide:

“How is Value Determined?
With Russian silver gilt egg pendants, value is determined by a combination offactors including size, condition, age, design, gems (if any), precious metalcontent, and most of all, craftsmanship. Skill and craftsmanship are key. Sizeis the most overlooked factor but is critical to value. Typically, the largerthe egg pendant or locket, the more valuable because of the extra labor andmaterials needed.
Four major sizes include:

• Petite: an egg pendant that is less than 3/4 inch (18mm) in length, excluding bale.
• Medium: An egg or locket that is 3/4th inch (18mm) to 1 inch (25mm) long, excluding bale.
• Large: an egg or locket that is 1 to 1 1/4 inches (31mm) in length or width, excluding bale.
• Extra Large: an egg or locket that is over 1 1/4 inches (31mm) in length or width, excluding bale.” End of excerpt.

About Discounted Shipping: USA shipping only. I am happy to discount shipping within 48 hours of the first purchase if you request a discounted invoice after your last sale concludes but BEFORE payment is sent. Large fragile items are not usually subject to this option because they often have to ship in separate boxes.

I strive to ship items via the least expensive way possible to save you money, and I utilize USPS shipping for just that reason, but tracking will always be included because it is an requirement.

Please do not make an offer or request a lower price unless the \"Best Offer\" option is available for that particular item.

Payment Reminder: If you are new around here, you need to know that automatically opens a case when payment fails to arrive within the required period. After a case is opened, buyers have several more days to send payment before the buyer account receives a “strike.” I have received angry emails from slow paying buyers who have no idea the process is automatic, hence, this reminder.

ABOUT response: My top priorities are answering email, writing accurate descriptions and fast shipping. response is important but not my priority. I leave response only once or twice a month in large groups to save time.

IMPORTANT: About the Buying Guide Link Above: Since seller-written Buying Guides have been discontinued by , I have expanded mine, added new photos, and moved them to Amaz*n and Kindl*. You can find them by typing the phrase “Buying Guide Russian Egg Pendants” in any Amaz*n search box. Below is a Table of Contents for this Buying Guide and info about the series.

CollectingRussian Faberge-Style Sterling Silver, Vermeil, and Porcelain Egg Pendantswas written to help the buyers of Russian egg pendants and lockets understand the background of this fascinating collecting field, to learn about some of the most popular types, and find resources for purchase, with photos throughout.

Eggs are the symbol of renewal, new beginnings, and springtime. Jewelers skilled in the art of Russian egg making create these small masterpieces inspired by the jeweled eggs made by Peter Carl Fabergé for the family of the Tsar during the 19th century. Typically, pure gold is applied over sterling silver, the egg is hand-enameled, and then each sparkling crystal and/or gemstone is added by hand.

Egg pendants made of gold, fine art glass, filigree vermeil silver, wood, and enameled metal called cloisonné are also right at home in any egg pendant collection, too. Some of the most beautiful glass eggs come from Italy, especially Venice and the Italian island of Murano.

This series of booklets, Buying Guides for International Collectables, celebrates folk art and collectable items from around the world, including some that are not well-known but that are affordable and fascinating. Ceramics, wood carvings, semi-precious gemstones, embroidery, sculpture, and sterling silver figurines are just some of the areas explored. Let’s feast our eyes on the traditional arts and crafts of India, Mexico, Russia, Ghana, USA, Brazil, Japan, China, and many other nations.
