Commissioned in 1913 by Russian Emperor Nicholas II as an Easter gift for his mother, Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, the Winter Egg is one of Fabergé’s most remarkable technical and artistic triumphs. This is the third time the Winter Egg — one of 50 Imperial Easter Eggs the jewelry house created — has broken the record for a Fabergé item at Christie’s. The most recent record-holder was the Rothschild Egg, which sold for $12 million in 2007. Adorning the Winter Egg’s quasi-transparent quartz shell are some 1,500 tiny rose-cut diamonds in platinum settings. The rock crystal base contains an additional 360 rose-cut diamonds, and the inside of the egg holds another 1,380. “The record-breaking sale of the Winter Egg underscores just how rare and extraordinary the Imperial Fabergé creations are, and why collectors continue to treat them as some of the most important works of art ever made,” says Grant Mobley of the Natural Diamond Council. “This particular egg stands apart as maybe the most diamond-centric of all the Imperial Easter Eggs, and its use of natural diamonds plays a major role in its enduring appeal. The craftsmanship, the provenance, and the near-mythic status of the Winter Egg made this a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Its $30 million result not only sets a new benchmark for Fabergé, it reinforces the value that natural diamonds bring to the world’s greatest objets d’art.”

The market for green diamonds has suffered in recent years because of difficulties confirming natural color origin — though some participants see confidence improving, the latest Rapaport Research Report explains. Dealers have steered clear of the sector because of the uncertainty involved when obtaining grading reports. The sky-high value of a green diamond — one of the industry’s rarest and most cherished items — hangs on the color determination it receives from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). But the process of confirming this provenance is highly complex, resulting in some dealers getting a different result from what they had expected. Keep reading: Linked in a comment below
