How can I tell if a Fabergé egg necklace is real?
1 Answer

To tell if a Fabergé egg necklace is real, first look for one of the brand's hallmarks. The jewelry house's markings varied widely over the years but often featured the name in Cyrillic or a head shown in profile beside a number. A licensed appraiser can help you accurately assess the authenticity of your necklace. On 1stDibs, find a collection of expertly vetted Fabergé jewelry.

Imperial Gilt Silver Guilloché Enamel Egg Pendant, Workmaster Hjalmar Armfeltd, St Petersburg, 1908-1917
We are pleased to present another unique item from our collection—an elegant miniature egg pendant adorned with guilloché enamel from the era of the Russian Empire. This exquisite piece was crafted in St. Petersburg by master Hjalmar Armfeltd at the beginning of the 20th century.
The pendant measures 21.5 mm in length (excluding the hanging ring) and 14.5 mm in width, with a weight of 5.3 grams. It remains in excellent vintage condition, without loss or damage to enamel.
Notable marks can be found on the pendant’s hanging ring: the Greek letter “α” (alpha), indicating its inspection by the St. Petersburg Assay Office, “88,” as well as the woman’s head in a kokoshnik and the Cyrillic initials “ЯА” — the master's mark Hjalmar Armfeltd, a distinctive detail that adds to its allure.
Karl Gustaf Hjalmar Armfeldt (1873–1959) was a Finnish silversmith and Fabergé...
