Reticulated Splendor Russian Faberge Sterling Silver Vermeil Enamel Egg Pendant with Pearl by Artel

Size Range: medium 6.3 grams

Composition: sterling silver gilt (vermeil)

Hallmarked? No

Condition: Excellent

Design: This stunning pink and green egg pendant is a $260.00 favorite at the Artel web site ($110.00 on sale), and with good reason. It\'s gorgeous and the underside contains a lovely pearl. This one has no flaws. The Artel site says this about this pendant:

\"Delicate reticulated enameled leaves and petals, accented with sparkling Swarovski crystal accents, make this a favorite choice among our collectors.(The front and back sides of this pendant are mirror images of one another.) \"

This egg reminds me of the famous Lily of the Valley Egg but it is also a unique design. This listing is for one egg pendant.

Note: The egg display tree and egg stand shown in some photos are not included.

About the Eggs: This is part of a large collection of antique, vintage and almost-new egg pendants and related jewelry items, most of them made from gilded sterling silver, but some made from solid 14k gold, gilded porcelain, crystal, genuine gemstones, and art glass. Most listed in my store will be of the Russian Faberge style, but there will also be some beautiful examples from Italy and other egg-laying nations. The last photo shows you a sampling of the collection that is being sold, one egg at a time.

Many of the finest egg pendants are not hallmarked. I have years of experience with fine jewelry and guarantee every statement made regarding precious metal. If an egg I sell you is not made of the stated materials, you are entitled to a full refund including your shipping, upon return. I have an all-sales-final policy to keep my prices low, but I stand behind 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, the bale is present, and all crystals and gems are present. Each pendant comes with a new square or rectangular gift box.

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

Some of these hand-made pendants are rare types, shaped like other round objects like pumpkin, acorn, eggplant, and crown; and a few are statement pieces, 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 the entire collection as it is listed.

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

Here is an excerpt from the Buying Guide:

“How is Value Determined?
With Russian silver gilt egg pendants, value is determined by a combination of factors including size, condition, age, design, gems (if any), precious metal content, and most of all, craftsmanship. Skill and craftsmanship are key. Size is the most overlooked factor but is critical to value. Typically, the larger the egg pendant or locket, the more valuable because of the extra labor and materials 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 the Faberge Name

After the Russian revolution in the early part of the 20th century, many Fabergé family members left Russia and some licensed or sold the Faberge name to various companies. For example, the Franklin Mint in Pennsylvania had a line of products called the “Franklin Mint House of Faberge” while working with a Faberge descendant. All of this has led to some confusion. The fact is that one of the few rare original Faberge eggs made for the czar and his family is worth millions of dollars. Some sterling silver vermeil Russian egg pendants are still made in the Faberge style and with Faberge techniques but only a few are made under license from a Faberge descendant.

When you see the word Faberge in one of my sale descriptions, think “Faberge Style” unless the item is specifically labeled as being from a licensed Faberge company such as the “Franklin Mint House of Faberge” line.

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.
