FABERGÉ X 007 OCTOPUSSY COLLECTION REVEALED
Fabergé and James Bond reveal the first in a series of jewellery and objet collections celebrating the 007 archive. Available to purchase and pre-order from 25th March 2024, the debut Fabergé x 007 capsule collection is inspired by the iconic James Bond film Octopussy (1983) and includes a hand-crafted limited-edition egg objet, and special edition egg surprise locket. This unique collection is set to delight both admirers and collectors of Fabergé and James Bond.
Easter 2024 sees the Fabergé x 007 partnership turn the page to its next chapter, following the initial partnership announcement in 2022 that revealed the forthcoming one-of-a-kind Fabergé x 007 Egg Objet. The first in a series, each collection will take inspiration from a James Bond film. It was perfectly fitting that the debut collection takes inspiration from the iconic Octopussy (1983), which featured a plot line centred around an elaborate Fabergé egg heist.
The first pieces to be revealed in the Fabergé x 007 Octopussy collection are the Fabergé x 007 Limited Edition Octopussy Egg Objet and Fabergé x 007 Special Edition Octopussy Egg Surprise Locket. Designed by Fabergé Head of Design, Liisa Tallgren, and overseen by Fabergé Creative Director, Josina von dem Bussche-Kessell, the design of these pieces is a symphony of past, present and future, with nods to the legendary Octopussy film.
The hand-crafted Fabergé x 007 Limited Edition Octopussy Egg Objet is limited to just 50 numbered pieces and stands at 8.4cm tall, crafted from 18k yellow gold and hand-painted with a rich green enamel, carefully selected for its similarity to the enamel used on the Fabergé egg featured in the film Octopussy. A mesmerising pattern is visible underneath the lustrous enamel – a combination of Fabergé’s signature guilloché, accompanied by an intricate artwork of engraved octopus tentacles which mysteriously wrap around the egg. These tentacles feature minute detail, and provide a level of depth and intrigue to the piece. The application is a highly skilled technique which takes absolute precision and patience, and is so complex that one week’s work is reserved for this alone. The egg is mounted on a stand which is reminiscent of that featured on the Fabergé egg from the film, set with white diamonds and blue sapphires.
Destined to interest collectors and aficionados all around the world, this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own pieces inspired by cinematic history.
