The New Home of Fabergé

With a combined history of well over two centuries, Fabergé finds a fitting new home at Laings, presenting Fabergé exclusively in Cardiff, Edinburgh and to our online clientele.

Fabergé has become renowned throughout the world as an artist jeweller, creating extraordinary jewellery and objects of art, as well as bespoke commissions for an international clientele. Founded in 1842, Fabergé has gained an unrivalled legacy ever since Peter Carl Fabergé became the official goldsmith to the Russian Imperial Court, providing exquisite jewels and the legendary series of lavish Imperial Eggs.

Legacy In Aristocracy

The story of Fabergé’s Imperial Eggs is marked with marvel, intrigue and tragedy. Fifty Imperial Eggs were commissioned by the Romanov’s last two czars, Alexander III and Nicholas II, and gifted to members of the family to celebrate Easter. Each of the eggs were marked with a unique surprise that was incredibly personal to the recipient, adorned with precious elements and Fabergé’s signature exquisite enamelling. The series of Imperial Eggs is one of the most defining emblems of the House of Romanov, now cherished to represent its special time in history.

Fabergé in the Spotlight

Today, Fabergé has carved out a unique place in the cultural landscape as a symbol of the ultimate prestige and luxury. Iterations of the iconic Fabergé Egg have featured in Hollywood productions such as James Bond Octopussy, Peaky Blinders and Ocean’s Twelve, and Fabergé’s High Jewellery creations are regularly worn on the red carpet by the likes of Helen Mirren, Dua Lipa and Winnie Harlow.

In recent years, Fabergé has created bespoke egg commissions for a select number of collaborations. This includes The Games of Thrones Egg, a one-of-a-kind work of object of art designed in collaboration with Michele Clapton, the Emmy® and BAFTA® winning costume designer from HBO®’s Game of Thrones. The creation is symbolic of Daenerys’ dragon eggs, with additional nods to her character’s costumes, the landscape around her and her evolving story arc. In 2018, Fabergé also created the ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ Egg with Rolls Royce, combining the two esteemed luxury houses respective artistic and engineering legacies.
