More information

Fabergé is a renowned Russian jewelry brand famous for its exquisite craftsmanship and luxurious designs. While best known for its Imperial Easter eggs, Fabergé also created a wide range of fine jewelry, including brooches, pendants, and rings. The pieces often featured intricate details, enamel work, and precious stones. Fabergé's jewelry was highly prized by royalty and aristocrats for its elegance, creativity, and unmatched quality. Fabergé’s ledgers refer to cabochon chalcedony stones in shades of purple-blue or mauve as “Mecca stones.” The name likely originates from Mocha, a town on Yemen’s Red Sea coast, where these stones were originally mined.
