Hand-Enameled Magnifier Pendant Necklace*The Met Store Store

This pretty pendant necklace is based on an original magnifying glass designed around 1896–1908 by the visionary Russian artisan and jeweler, Peter Carl Fabergé (1846–1920). Fabergé’s studios produced a wide variety of objets d’art, including magnificent jewelry, clocks, enamel cigarette cases, boxes, and frames. Among his firm’s elite clientele were the last two czars of the Romanov family, for whom he made the most ornate pieces and the celebrated jeweled Easter eggs.
