Russian Imperial White Enamel Earrings

ENLARGE

Peter Carl Fabergé (Russian, 1846–1920) revolutionized the way jewelry was evaluated in Russian society by emphasizing creativity and workmanship over the use of precious stones and metals. His studio produced a wide variety of objets d'art, including magnificent jewelry, clocks, enamel cigarette cases, boxes, frames, and his ultimate achievement, a series of jeweled Easter eggs created for Czars Alexander III and Nicholas II of Russia. These delicate “works of fantasy” often memorialized important occasions in the reign of the Imperial Romanov family. The design of the Museum’s earrings is adapted from a band decorated with moonstones from an urn-shaped nephrite vase that Czar Nicholas II presented to King Edward VII in 1908. Produced in cooperation with the British Royal Collection. Made expressly for the Metropolitan Museum in the United States.

24K gold plate, hand enameled, with glass moonstones. Diameter 11/16 in. Pierced, with 14K gold posts and omega back.
