Fabergé 007 Octopussy

In a groundbreaking collaboration, Fabergé and the James Bond franchise have joined forces to unveil the first installment of their highly anticipated collection: the Fabergé x 007 Octopussy Collection. Drawing inspiration from the iconic 1983 film "Octopussy," this debut collection captures the essence of espionage and elegance in a series of exquisite jewelry and objet d'art.


The centerpiece of the collection is the Fabergé x 007 Limited Edition Octopussy Egg Objet—a true masterpiece crafted from 18k yellow gold and adorned with rich green enamel reminiscent of the Fabergé egg featured in the film. Standing 8.4cm tall, this hand-crafted object is a testament to the skill and artistry of Fabergé's craftsmen. Intricate guilloché engraving, complemented by a mesmerizing pattern of engraved octopus tentacles, adds depth and intrigue to the piece, while white diamonds and blue sapphires adorn the stand, paying homage to the original Fabergé egg.


At the heart of the Octopussy Egg Objet lies a hidden surprise—a miniature 18k gold octopus, its suckers adorned with white diamonds and its eyes gleaming with black diamonds. This whimsical addition pays homage to the film's eponymous antagonist and adds a touch of playful intrigue to the object.

Accompanying the Octopussy Egg Objet is the Fabergé x 007 Special Edition Octopussy Egg Surprise Locket—a stunning piece that echoes the design of the Fabergé egg from the film. Crafted from 18k gold and delicately set with blue sapphires and white diamonds, this locket opens to reveal a miniature gold octopus inside, complete with black diamond eyes. Subtle nods to the film, such as the incorporation of the letter 'O' from the title treatment, add a touch of nostalgia to the design, while contemporary elements, like the geometric guilloché engraving, bring a modern twist to the piece.

Behind the scenes, the creation of each Octopussy Egg Objet and Egg Surprise Locket is a labor of love, requiring the expertise of 12 specialists across nine individual crafts. From spinning and casting to enameling and polishing, each piece undergoes a meticulous process that spans seven months of craftsmanship. Guided by a Fabergé Workmaster with four generations of experience in enamel artistry, these artisans ensure that every detail meets the highest standards of quality and precision.

As collectors and admirers alike marvel at the beauty of the Fabergé x 007 Octopussy Collection, they are reminded of the enduring allure of James Bond and the timeless elegance of Fabergé. With each piece bearing the mark of two iconic brands, this collection is not only a celebration of craftsmanship but also a tribute to the spirit of adventure and intrigue that defines the world of 007.
