The charm on this unique pendant is fashioned in the shape of an open basket with faux diamond handles and a ruby-colored stone punctuating the bottom of the basket. The design was inspired by the Russian Faberge egg of the late 18th and early 19th Centuries. Imperial court jeweler Carl Faberge and his craftsmen created magnificent eggs of various designs, not only for Russian nobility, but also for European dignitaries and Faberge shops. In 1886, the House of Faberge was granted an annual commission by Czar Alexander III to produce eggs for the imperial family. These imaginatively designed eggs were meticulously crafted in gold and silver with enamel, precious gems, and semiprecious stones. This sparkling "ruby basket egg" pendant is inspired by these creations.

Size: 16" gold-plated chain, gold-plated base metal with crystals and simulated ruby, purple enamel. Egg charm is 2 cm. high x 1 cm. wide.
