Glittering with sapphires in tantalizing hues of yellow, green, pink, purple, and blue, Fabergé’s new Four Seasons Summer Egg is spectacular. But it’s also just a hint of splendor to come. The eye-catching creation is the first of four unique, decorative eggs to be completed in the brand’s planned Four Seasons Eggs set. While the summer edition takes shape with sapphires, its counterparts representing winter, spring, and autumn are to be bedecked with diamonds, emeralds, and rubies, respectively. Each objet d’art also opens to reveal a jeweled surprise on a mechanically-powered presentation podium. Summer’s hidden trinket? A dazzling sapphire and diamond ring.
