Faberge Royal Jubilee Exclusive Limited Edition Crown Surprise Locket

Faberge Royal Jubilee Exclusive Limited Edition Crown Surprise Locket, 1151FP3467

There have been numerous Royal occasions over the last decade, however, June 2022 was one of the most significant, forever defined by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. To commemorate this very special milestone, British jewellers C W Sellors collaborated with the esteemed artisans at Fabergé to release 22 limited-edition egg surprise lockets, with a crown hidden inside.

The Imperial State Crown design brings together the proud British jewellery heritage of C W Sellors, with the artistic craftsmanship and enduring legacy of Fabergé. 

The inspired crown design set within the exclusive Fabergé C W Sellors collaborative locket is 22mm in height and features delicately set gemstones in homage to the most famous gems set in the original headpiece. It includes a 1.7mm ruby centrepiece that depicts the Black Prince’s Ruby and a 1.5mm diamond to represent the Cullian II diamond. The intricate crown surpriser also features emeralds which are seen prominently in The Imperial State Crown, and the inclusion of blue sapphires represent the famous St Edward’s Sapphire and Stuart Sapphire. On the outside of the 18-carat white gold locket, the egg is decorated in purple guilloché enamel and set with diamonds. Purple was chosen for its relevance to the Platinum Jubilee and to represent the purple in Her Majesty The Queen’s Robe of Estate and Coronation Gown.

Underpinning the limited-edition nature of the crown surprise locket is a Platinum Jubilee hallmark engraved on its base, which features an orb and reflects the fineness mark for platinum. Sanctioned by the body which oversees UK hallmarking, the British Hallmarking Council, the commemorative mark could only be struck on qualifying jewellery items until 31 December 2022 and was also a key feature in C W Sellors’ wider 2022 Jubilee Hallmark collection.

This locket will arrive beautifully packaged in a unique Faberge presentation box with certificate of authenticity.
