Faberge 18ct Yellow Gold Vermeil Whitby Jet Diamond Objet Limited Edition 1387DA2524 A highly desirable limited edition of only 3 pieces, the 18ct yellow gold vermeil Whitby Jet and Diamond Precious Objet features green guilloche enamel and round white diamonds, set in solid silver with 18 carat yellow gold vermeil. In keeping with its fondness for delight, surprise and discovery, Faberge has concealed highly polished Whitby Jet stone and an 18ct gold vermeil model of the Whitby Abbey inside the egg and the pedestal on which the egg sits is hand carved Whitby Jet. It has been exclusively designed in celebration of W Hamond 160-year anniversary in 2020. We have had a long relationship with Faberge and so it is only fitting that our two companies have collaborated to bring you a world first in jewellery design. A key part of W Hamond heritage, Whitby Jet is one of the first gemstones we started working with and has remained a signature part of our collections over the years. It will be the first time Faberge have crafted pieces using this British gemstone, and we are proud and privileged to elevate our local gemstone into the world of luxury jewels. Whitby Jet is one of just a few organic gemstones in the world naturally formed from fossilised wood, like that of the Monkey Puzzle or Araucaria tree. Millions of years ago, this wood became washed up into a body of water and covered by organic sediment. The pressure beneath all this matter over so many years eventually compacted the wood and transformed it into what we know as Whitby Jet today. Our skilled craftsmen work with the natural material, transforming each stone into a unique, finished piece that brings the beauty of Whitby Jet to life. Each Objet comes beautifully packaged in a unique Faberge presentation box with certificate of authenticity.
