About the Item
We are pleased to present an exquisite antique medallion by the renowned jeweler August Holmström in St. Petersburg, Russian Empire, in the late 19th century/early 20th century.
August Holmström was Chief Jeweller at Fabergé for a remarkable forty-six years. Throughout his illustrious career, most Fabergé productions took place in his workshop.
Holmström was born in Helsinki and originally trained under his bricklayer father. At the age of sixteen, however, he left his homeland for St Petersburg and became an apprentice to the jeweler Herold. Whilst in Herold’s workshop. Holmström met Johann Fredrik Hammarström, another Finnish trainee-jeweller. Though Hammarström initially achieved greater success, establishing his own workshop, Holmström soon surpassed him. In 1857, Holmström purchased Hammarström’s workshop and rose to the esteemed position of Chief Jeweller for Fabergé.
What sets August Holmström apart from other workmasters is his work's sheer quantity and variety. Additionally, he has a reputation for creating extraordinary custom designs.
Our locket features bright burgundy guilloché enamel, a gilded relief of cobalt mesh, and faceted diamond simulant inserts (simulated diamonds, such as cubic zirconia (CZ) or moissanite, look like diamonds but are not real diamonds).
It measures 35.6 x 28 mm and weighs 20.2 grams.
The locket is in excellent condition and opens and closes smoothly without loss of gilding, enamel, or gemstones. Two sets of identification marks, including the master’s initials and imperial silver mark ("84"), confirm its authenticity.
This rare piece will be a stunning addition to any collection or a cherished gift.

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.
