These Fabergé 1842 Yellow Gold Grande Egg Stud Earrings feature the Fabergé hallmark set in polished 18 karat yellow gold. The eggs measure 12mm in height and 3mm in depth. These earrings stack perfectly with the smaller Fabergé 1842 Yellow Gold Egg Stud Earrings. In keeping with Fabergé's penchant for surprise, a ruby, responsibly sourced from Gemfields Montepuez ruby mine in Mozambique, is hidden at the back of each earring. Rubies are a symbol of passion, prosperity and protection, making them the perfect secret addition to this striking new collection. The 1842 collection pays homage to the year when Gustav Fabergé opened his jewellery boutique in St. Petersburg. This fine jewellery collection is inspired by the gold jewellery and precious accessories Fabergé began producing in the years before the first Imperial Egg was born. Each piece showcases Fabergé's iconic egg-shaped hallmark, in 18k yellow gold.
