Visitors to Fabergé’s 14a Grafton Street boutique in London should prepare for an extra dose of ‘wow’ factor. From now through September 14, an exclusive exhibition of treasures created by Peter Carl Fabergé and his workmasters before 1917 is on view at the Mayfair store. Glittering with emeralds, sapphires, and one stunning amethyst, the rare collection makes clear that vibrant stones have been a brand signature since the beginning. As has artistry. The jewelry, photograph frames, cigarette cases, and pendant watch on display also don’t fail to impress with creative, impeccable detail.
