This intricate pendant with the monogram of Nicholas II perfectly illustrates the Faberge's great idea of creating a series of Easter eggs as annual presents to empresses on behalf of a reigning monarch. Following their Coronation, Nicholas and his wife Alexandra became the chief patrons of the Carl Faberge Workshop. This pendant created by a contemporary craftsman can be an excellent gift for Christmas or Easter. Silver, enamel. Length 3/4 in. (1.8 cm). |
