Description
The ultimate achievement of the workshop of Peter Carl Fabergé is the series of jeweled Easter eggs, among them the
Basket of Flowers Egg (1901), commissioned by Czar Nicholas II as a gift for his wife, Czarina Alexandra Feodorovna. The piece’s profusion of wildflowers enameled on gold is painstakingly modeled to look as realistic as possible. Our earrings are based on a delicate pansy on this magnificent work.

Art History
In 1872 when Peter Carl Fabergé (Russian, 1846–1920) was only 26 years old, he took over his father’s jewelry business in St. Petersburg, Russia. With the help of his brother Agathon, he cultivated the patronage of the last two czars of the Romanov dynasty and the elite of Edwardian society. Fabergé’s studios produced a wide variety of objets d’art, including magnificent jewelry, clocks, enamel cigarette cases, boxes, and frames.
