Description

Jeweler to the last two czars of the Romanov dynasty, Peter Carl Fabergé (Russian, 1846-1920) emphasized creativity and workmanship in designing his dazzling objects d'art. Among these is an exquisite frame (made before 1896) of rock crystal, gold, rose diamonds, and guilloché enamel, with a photograph of Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna (1864-1918), who in 1884 married the brother of Czar Alexander III. The original frame, in the British Royal Collection, is the source for our chic hand-enameled watch with Czech crystals. Produced in cooperation with the British Royal Collection.
