Egg with Polar Bear, Vermeil, Blue Enamel, 32 diamonds, 90 rubies, rock crystal

About the Item

The objet de vertu features a miniature polar bear crafted from rock crystal, resting on a sphere of transparent rock crystal. The piece is crafted from vermeil (925/- sterling silver gold gilt), translucent electric blue vitreous enamel, 0.48ct brilliant cut diamonds G VS, and 90 ruby cabochons, totalling 85.5ct. The egg is encased in a delicate mesh of gold wires, adorned with diamonds and rubies. It is presented on an elegant plate crafted from onyx marble. Inspiration: Polar bears are regarded as the epitome of strength, adaptability and independence, and are therefore considered the majestic animals of the north. Furthermore, they symbolise courage and resilience in the face of extreme conditions. In contrast, rock crystals are frequently linked with attributes such as clarity, purity and energy. It is believed that they can help to neutralise negative energies and promote spiritual development. In summary, both polar bears and rock crystals are regarded as symbols of strength, protection and spiritual purity. Reference: PL342/EB/00/00/500 Brand: VICTOR MAYER Precious metal: Vermeil / 925/- sterling silver gilded with gold Vitreous enamel: Translucent electric blue Diamonds: 32 brilliant cut diamonds totalling 0.48ct G VS Rubies: 1 x 9.50 mm round cabochon, 1 x 14 x 11 mm oval cabochon, 4 x 12.2 x 10 mm oval cabochons, 84 x 3.50 mm round cabochons, totalling 85.5ct. Measurements: 28 x 15 cm incl. base Pieces made: Unique Piece About the creator Victor Mayer Victor Mayer is internationally renowned for elegant timeless designs and unrivalled expertise in historic craftsmanship. Lovers of the extraordinary appreciate the beauty of Victor Mayer's designs, which use extremely rare techniques such as genuine enamel or elaborate engravings. Since 1890, the company has stood for the finest jewellery Hand Made in Germany. It is an open secret that the most renowned brands, such as Fabergé, entrust the company with the production of their most exquisite collections. About vitreous enamel: The inimitably luminous colours are literally created "in the fire": layer by layer, enamel is carefully fired in at 800 degrees Celsius. During guilloching, the finest wave patterns are engraved into the gold, creating a unique depth effect. Vitreous means made of glass: the ancient technique is almost forgotten today and Victor Mayer is perhaps the last manufactory to master it at the highest level.

Fabergé Pill Box 18K Yellow Gold Green Enamel 12 Diamonds and 16 Rubies
By Fabergé
Located in Pforzheim, DE
Fabergé Limited Edition Pill Box 18K Yellow Gold, Vitreous Green Enamel, Diamonds 0.30 ct G VS, Rubies 0.48ct This piece is an original modern Fabergé creation, crafted in 18k gold by the master artisans of Victor Mayer in Pforzheim, Germany. Victor Mayer, who held the exclusive Fabergé license from 1989 to 2009 and continues to produce objects and jewelry for Fabergé to this day, is renowned for its meticulous craftsmanship and faithful adherence to the illustrious Fabergé tradition. The exterior features a vivid green guilloché enamel. Guilloché is a technique where intricate, repeating patterns are engine-turned into the underlying metal; when covered with translucent enamel and fired, these engraved patterns shimmer beneath the glass-like surface. The result is a dynamic play of light and depth, with the green enamel glowing as it highlights the geometric motif beneath. Over this enamel surface, a raised latticework of gold “struts” is set at regular intervals, creating a trellis-like pattern. At each intersection, a gemstone is placed—alternating rubies and diamonds. The rubies, with their rich red hue, and the diamonds, with their brilliant sparkle, form a lively contrast against the green enamel and warm gold tones. Each stone is carefully set into the gold to ensure secure positioning and uniform alignment. Delicate rope-like gold borders and ornamental edging around the box add further intricacy and textural interest, emphasizing the level of detail that goes into such a piece. Supported by small, individually crafted gold feet, the box stands slightly elevated, suggesting a sense of grandeur and presence. Inspired by the lavish snuff boxes and treasure boxes of the 18th and 19th centuries, such a piece might have once held finely ground tobacco for aristocrats. Today, it could serve as a pill box or simply be cherished as a precious keepsake—an objet d’art that blends historical elegance with artisanal mastery. Though small and portable, this is far more than a container. It is a miniature work of art that embodies time-honored techniques, luxurious materials, and a heritage steeped in the tradition of Old World craftsmanship. It stands as a testament to the exquisite skill of those who created it, worthy of admiration in a collection or showcased as a decorative masterpiece. The stunning contemporary 18-carat gold Faberge Pill Box...
