This tempting Faberge egg pendant, designed in a beautiful turquoise enamel trimmed with gold tone festoons and set with three faux rubies, is created in sterling silver and then gilded in 24 karat gold. It is then enameled with several layers of multicolored enamel. This technique of enameling is an extremely delicate and highly labor-intensive one involving hand application of translucent colored enamel and then firing it at very high temperatures. Each egg is enameled by hand with up to seven layers of enamel. It measures approximately 3/4" in length, not including the loop, and comes in mint condition. In the photo it looks green, however it is more of a turquoise color in person. An updated note: The remaining pendants that are available are the last I will ever have since the company is no longer in business. They are the best quality at the best prices compared to similar eggs from other companies.
