In a thrilling collaboration uniting the worlds of luxury and cinema, Fabergé and James Bond have joined forces to unveil the first in a series of mesmerizing jewellery and objet collections, paying homage to the iconic 007 archive. Launching on March 25th, 2024, the debut Fabergé x 007 capsule collection promises to captivate both admirers and collectors with its exquisite craftsmanship and nod to the legendary James Bond film, Octopussy (1983).

Drawing inspiration from the intricate plotline of Octopussy, which revolved around an elaborate Fabergé egg heist, the collection embodies the essence of sophistication and intrigue synonymous with the Bond franchise. Crafted under the meticulous guidance of Fabergé's Head of Design, Liisa Tallgren, and Creative Director, Josina von dem Bussche-Kessell, each piece is a testament to the fusion of past, present, and future.

At the heart of the collection lies the Fabergé x 007 Limited Edition Octopussy Egg Objet, a true masterpiece limited to just 50 numbered pieces. Standing tall at 8.4cm and meticulously handcrafted from 18k yellow gold, this objet is adorned with rich green enamel reminiscent of the iconic Fabergé egg featured in the film. The intricate pattern, a symphony of Fabergé's signature guilloché and engraved octopus tentacles, adds depth and mystique to the piece. Set with white diamonds and blue sapphires, the egg opens to reveal a stunning 18k yellow gold octopus, a tribute to the film's enigmatic antagonist.

Josina von dem Bussche-Kessell, Fabergé's Creative Director, remarks, "The surprise inside this capsule collection had to be an octopus, in dedication to the eponymous antagonist at the heart of the film. 'Octopussy' is a powerful businesswoman and jewel-smuggler, and the octopus surprise inside the Fabergé x 007 Egg Objet encapsulates her strong character."

The meticulous craftsmanship behind each piece is a testament to Fabergé's legacy, with the Limited Edition Octopussy Egg Objet taking seven months to create, involving the expertise of 12 specialists across nine individual crafts. Each objet, a labor of love, exemplifies the finest traditions of Fabergé, passing through the hands of skilled artisans in Germany.

Accompanying the Limited Edition Egg Objet is the Fabergé x 007 Special Edition Octopussy Egg Surprise Locket, a true marvel of design and innovation. Encased in an 18k gold lattice framework adorned with blue sapphires and white diamonds, the locket opens to reveal a miniature gold octopus, capturing the essence of the film's namesake.

Liisa Tallgren, Fabergé's Head of Design, explains, "I introduced a different style of guilloché underneath the enamel, which works better with the scale and size of the egg locket. The geometric style complements the intricate latticework of the piece, offering a contemporary twist."

As Easter 2024 approaches, the Fabergé x 007 Octopussy Capsule Collection stands as a testament to the enduring allure of luxury and cinema. With each piece meticulously crafted to perfection, this collection is set to become a cherished addition to the legacy of both Fabergé and James Bond.
