[@willslingwood]

Yeah I have 7 eggs that my nana snuck out of Russia in her knickers about 100 years ago.

[@Wernerrrrr]

I just checked all the eggs in my fridge, none were made by Fabergé.

Sorry only a Kinder Surprise Egg here, would that do?

It’s incredible how these pieces bring out such diverse perspectives-from their history to their craftsmanship and even their hidden secrets. Having worked with artifacts like this, I can tell you there’s so much more beneath the surface.

[@denisesalles7248]

That brooch is SO beautiful - so delicately crafted with so much thought in the design!

The czar visited England in 1908, and attended racing week at cowes. It’s quite well known and there are many photographs and stories of the visit. They also visited with the then Prince of wales George and princess Mary at sandringam. Don’t know about buckingham palace though

Great stories! Wonderful.

What i find interesting is the values of old important jewelry in the UK that are quite low 8000 pounds, and the US show which has valuations in the mid 40s

Delightful people and jewelry. Thank you.

faberget rendered nature in gold better than them all. so realistic and true to the subject matter

[@AldousAudacious]

What a story! 😮❤

[@Figueiredoartconservation]

It’s fascinating to see how these treasures spark such unique reactions-whether it’s about the craftsmanship, the history, or the people behind them. As someone who’s had the privilege of working closely with artifacts like this, I can say there’s always more than meets the eye. Curious about what goes into uncovering their hidden stories? Let’s dive deeper! 😊"

[@RossAmor-s6h]

Not me but in our family there was a Faberge chain charm bracelet that a relative purchased from a Faberge store in London when in London during WW1 before going to the Western Front. Sent it back to Australia before going to the Western Front. Apparently cost 25 pounds which was a lot of money back in those days. It was sold for $3000 AUD in the early 1970's

[@Zereniti77]

Fun fact: most of the Faberge workmasters were Finns. Finland then being part of Russia, as Grand Duchy of Finland.

[@Ky-rb6og]

Nice piece of trivia… thanks

Romanovs. I don't know what 'balling out' means.

[@empressrohroh]

In 1909 the Tsar visited the Isle of Wight and the then King, Edward VII... it is quite possible that her relation waited on the Russian Royals at that time..

[@duelenigma7732]

the sapphires appear near falling out . The girdle of the stones should not be visible but is quite visible . ( jeweller) .

[@JohnnyAngel8]

I thought so, too. The crown could almost be mistaken for a torso and the sapphires as bosoms. I really don't see where else they could be located, though.

[@andyocallaghan8906]

not being a jewelry expert. but think it is called original condition and not been messed around with by modern semi skilled people. collectors seek original condition items

[@duelenigma7732]

@@andyocallaghan8906 jeweller for 40 years . I base my point on seeing the girdle of the sapphire proud of the bezel which is suppose to wrap over the girdle to secure the sapphire .

Boy, Jean and Thomas really took good care of them didn’t they?

[@andyocallaghan8906]

I would pay $5000 for that ring tomorrow it cannot be worth 1200 pounds

[@ItsMe-yv9jd]

?? Gotta say, I had to smile watching that smug woman say "he carried the injured king to a chateau." (Haaaah! Let's be honest folks, her grandfather may have been given one of the hundreds of tie pins the king handed out on a regular basis to various people, but there's no chance that a random soldier would have been granted access anywhere near the king and his security entourage, after falling from a horse. She might as well make up a ridiculous family story about her father being abducted by a flying saucer too!) That said, on what planet do you think a woman servant would have been allowed to take care of a visiting tzar and clean his room in Buckingham palace... it would be the most scandalous thing to happen! The tzar would always travel with his own personal staff and only men would be allowed near him in his private quarters!

[@RasheedKhan-he6xx]

She did say her grandfather had been the King's footman at Buckingham before going to serve in the War. As such he would have been known to the King's entourage and to the King himself. As for the household arrangements at Buckingham palace, I am sure there are records about who would have been assigned to clean who's room and I assume you have read them to make such a staunch claim . I haven't so I shan't argue but I will agree that even for a czar it seems rather an excessive gratuity for such an ordinary service. Perhaps there was something more to it, perhaps we'll never know.
