Fabergé has released a limited edition egg objet inspired by Goldfinger (1964) as part of its ongoing collaboration with the James Bond franchise.
It follows the launch of the Fabergé x 007 egg safe locket with ruby heart surprise in October 2024.
The new piece is crafted from 18k yellow gold and takes its design cues from the Fort Knox gold depository, a key element of the Goldfinger film plot.
The front features a six-prong combination lock with “007” at the centre. Rotating the lock anticlockwise triggers two bolts, allowing the safe door to open – a mechanism Fabergé said took months to develop and marks a first for the company.
Inside, a stack of gold bars is set amid 140 brilliant-cut yellow diamonds. The gold bars reference the film’s title song lyric, “He loves only gold.” The egg is mounted on an 18k white gold stem with 16 round brilliant-cut white diamonds, set on a carved black nephrite jadeite base.
The objet joins the wider Goldfinger capsule collection, which includes the earlier egg locket, and complements other creations in the Fabergé x 007 range, such as those commemorating Octopussy (1983).
Designed by Fabergé head of design Liisa Tallgren and overseen by creative director Josina von dem Bussche-Kessell, the collection incorporates references to the James Bond film archive.
The Fabergé x 007 Goldfinger egg objet, limited to 50 editions, is available to pre-order.
Von dem Bussche-Kessell said: “We’re delighted to present these bold Fabergé x 007 James Bond Goldfinger editions, which introduce an entirely new opening mechanism – miniature versions of the vault in the Fort Knox scenes of the film. It’s an honour for Fabergé to be able to continue to pay tribute to this legendary film in these eternally beautifully crafted Fabergé pieces.”
Tallgren added: “The glamour and appreciation of beauty and culture is where the worlds of Fabergé and Bond meet, a perfect place to create a collection of very special pieces that honour both Fabergé’s heritage and Bond’s storytelling.”
