runway. Similarly, the Oeuf Sophia
Bleu Pastel aqua enamelled egg
charm mirrors Balmain’s mint
quilted jackets and the Oeuf
Matelassé Empereur Trellis Or
Jaune egg pendant is decorated
with delicate rows of diamonds that
embraces the rich quilted textures
similar to that of the Balmain dress.
Each pendant is crafted with the
excellence of fine workmanship and
consists of precious stones, metals
and sorbet-coloured enamel, with
soft colouring and tones that are
perfect for the autumn season.
In addition to encapsulating avant-
garde fashion, a Fabergé egg pendant
offers its owner with a rare glimpse
into Russian culture and heritage. Not
only does the Oeuf Matelassé Empereur
Diamants Or Blanc showcase the richness
of Romanov interiors and modern day
luxury but the pendant, encrusted with
diamonds, exudes a sense of timeless
beauty. The Oeuf Impératrice Rose et
Blanc boasts rococo and has gem-work
inspired by the optimistic femininity
and vast jewel collections of the Russian
Empress and her four daughters.
Considering the Fabergé eggs
were created as a mark of romance and
celebration and mapped the timeline of
the aristocracy of the Imperial Court, it
was customary that they were designed
using only the most precious and stunning
of materials. Thus, delicate diamonds and
gold enamel were customary features of
the highly decorated eggs. Fabergé’s AW12
Oeuf Nina Rose and Oeuf Rose Duchesse
egg pendants channel the diamond
decoration that was so commonplace
during the Romanov Dynasty. Both egg
pendants are ornamented with eternal
diamonds that allow you to juxtapose and
enjoy jewellery that is decorated in both
modernity and history.
Being a prestigious, high-end and
elite brand, Fabergé commissioned Tanya
Ling to mirror its historical excellence,
by illustrating and drawing stunning egg
pendant sketches for the AW12 collection.
After studying Fashion Design and Textiles
at St Martins School of Art, Tanya Ling
moved to Paris where she worked as
a designer for Dorothee Bis and then
Christian Lacroix. She has also worked for
an array of high-profile fashion houses and
publications such as
British Vogue
,
US Elle,
Harper’s Bazaar
,
Diana Von Furstenberg,
Louis Vuitton, Selfridges and Harrods.
Tanya Ling’s illustrative and fashion genius
has been commended by
British Vogue
and
The Observer Magazine
.
In consideration
of her outstanding contribution to art
and fashion as a designer and illustrator,
Fabergé enlisted Tanya Ling to add her
touch of brilliance to its world-renowned
brand.
Fabergé’s commitment to reproducing
historical masterpieces and creating
opulent jewellery that rivals the finest of
art has made it the jeweller of choice or
as they say, the ‘jeweller du jour’ for AW12.
