I have a book, entirely in German, titled in German: Faberge, House Jeweler to the Czars. The sheer mastery and beauty of his work renders me speechless.
Oh yes. Especially the Easter eggs, several of which are still lost. Each piece a work of art.
Yes, while 99% of the Russian populations lived in abject poverty, dying of starvation. We need to reconsider what we do with objects such as these
Especially the large eggs, perfect gift for easter 2024.

Stunning piece.
I recall another Faberge brooch found on AR in the early 1990s. A woman was wearing it and Hugh Scully was amusing himself by blowing her bits of (relative) tat off. He said (words to the effect of), "I'm not really interested in that but can you show me the brooch on your scarf". "ooh", the lady responded and continued, "I nearly didn't wear this today" I have a vague recollection of her finding it at a car boot sale. It was beautiful pink shell or coral brooch and when she took it off, Hugh was full of the eagle eye of experience when he spotted the classic Karl Faberge clasp.
I seem to recall it being valued at around £10,000 but I may be wrong on this. Regardless, she was a very happy lady and so was Hugh upon discovering the delightful object.
It was enameled. Remember that one. Can’t find it on UA-cam.

Oh, I'm pleased someone else recalls it. Thanks Mark.
More intriguing for me, would be how on earth my mother came by it. Fascinating.
Many Russian jewels were smuggled out of Russia and sold off following the Russian Revolution of 1917. Turns out having gold and jewels was a bad idea when the Communists wanted everyone impoverished.
I would sell it love get the best price for it , and enjoy what you would use the money for and say 🙏 thanks mum ❤ x
during and after the Russian revolution, when the monarchy was murdered, so many treasures were looted and brought to the West to be sold for profit
I’m so glad for her. Anything Faberge’ is a lovely nest egg, or in the case of the eggs, priceless.
It's a peridot, they sparkle dynamically in that particular shade of green!
I thought it was a peridot as well.
I think it is too, I love peridot because they always remind me of Spring in a green country, and flowers budding.
The color can’t be denied.
I was thinking Olivine. Essentially the same thing.
No it's nothing like peridot green.
If Geoffrey was reading the Yellow Pages out loud, I would sit & listen
😂❤
What a sweet lady. 😊
What a find that is. Not everyone has a Faberge item at home.
What you on about? I have about 10 Faberge's at home as book ends!
@@BadgerBoy59 Impressive!
@@BadgerBoy59me too mate. I have ten Faberge eggs. I use them for blind baking my pastries.
@@chickbells yeah, that one got me, lol
Wow 🤩 what a beautiful pin! ♥️
So much value of many things is in the name.
BUT what is behind that name is craftsmanship, know-how, history, countless hours of work, labour force etc. Mythos of the name doesn't appear out of the blue, it is earned through sweat and creativity.
Geoffrey Munn is a poet.
Indeed he is
Looks like Peridot. Gorgeous piece!
I also thought that it was Peridot which I believe is an August birthstone so perhaps the lady's Mother or Grandmother were born in August
What a lovely, very understated object. A real find.
This item was obviously purchased in Russia.
The London and Paris Faberge stores had boxes made with the names of those cities.... FYI.
Green peridot, diamonds, and yellow guilloche enamel -
Peridot is for the month of August.
Diamondas are - forever
Red is for energy, passion, and danger; Yellow for happiness, hope and spontaneity,; Green for nature, growth, and harmony; Blue for calmness and wisdom.
Yes, I thought peridot immediately. Why would he say zircon? But I am no expert
@@annelessick3163 lol, because peridot is a Silicate mineral Cibic Zerkonia gemstone,
"Peridot Cubic Zirconia" ...
The Middle English Dictionary's entry on peridot includes several variations: peridod, peritot, pelidod and pilidod.
Peridot is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one color: an olive-green. Translucent olivine is sometimes used as a gemstone called peridot (péridot, the French word for olivine). It is also called chrysolite (or chrysolithe, from the Greek words for gold and stone), though this name is now rarely used in the English language. Some of the finest gem-quality olivine has been obtained from a body of mantle rocks on Zabargad Island in the Red Sea.
Thank you ever so much for the details. Do the British use the word zirconia more than peridot? That would explain why he made no mention of peridot. All good.
@@annelessick3163 I trully do not know.
but look what i found:
"Those who are allergic or sensitive to olivine should NOT wear peridot on their body. Peridot is made of the mineral olivine. If you are allergic to this mineral, then don't place peridot on your body. This prevents inflammations, skin irritations, or headaches. Jul 27, 2023" ... tha's a first for me.
@@annelessick3163 Peridot is a very specific mineral with a very specific color. It's possible he said zircon, because the definition of zircon is broader, on the off chance it was another type of zircon mineral other than peridot. This is all speculation on my part. :)
A lovely piece ❤️
That 8 grand is probably like £30k today with the current inflation haha
So many people do this now. It's like showing a Trailer of the movie's best scenes at the beginning of the movie - it's insane!
Incredible that the box is there.
The center stone is a demantoid garnet. The inclusions in the stone are known as horsetail, and the identifying factor. Stone known origin is the Ural mountains in Russia. It actually has a higher refractive value than diamonds. Proud owner of a 2 carat specimen although my fiance in possession of it,lol
"Have you any idea who made this?" While opening the lid with Faberge printed on it 🤦♂️
For all those saying it's a low price. The clip is over 20 years old!
I think the appraiser low-balled this item !
They're usually conservative on value
Try and buy anything Faberge for £8000 and I’ll show you the secret to life.
It could do with a good cleaning. 40 pounds in 1903 would be just about 6100 in today's money. So yes it's increased, but not as much as one would expect.
Right! The dirt was bugging me so much! I would love to see it cleaned and sparkly ❤
Note however that that 8,000 was the estimate made in 2002. That's more like 16,000 today.
@@vanessahinds8320I agree a thorough cleaning is needed and a repair on the pin. A reputable jeweler could do it in no time.
Maybe it was made for a child ?
@@BlackStump172 Fabrege was a business, not a servant of the Tsar. They made luxury objects that catered to people with disposable income at every level., not just the useless aristocracy.
Sold!😊
I would love to see it when it has been cleaned.
Pretty. Mum's been around.
Valuable item! please keep it in a safe place.🤭👍
That’s a very large alexandrite in the brooch (not a yellow-green natural zircon). Itself, the stone only, would easily fetch $90,000 retail. Alexandrites that large are all but impossible to find. From a stone cutter to the nice lady, do not sell this brooch until you get that stone tested.
Exactly! That's what mine does
It’s worth a heck of a lot more than that
I believe an early suitor gave it to her as a token of feeling..but she chose another, so she really did not feel right in wearing it , or fixing it. I know that I ha e kept a Limoges piece given to me in Paris…so…I leave the rest to one’s imagination.
Sold!
3:46 £8,000
you're welcome
I went to the Hermitage museum in Russia and they didn’t have a single Faberge egg. I was so disappointed. They must be mostly privately owned.
There is a Faberge museum now. Consisting of the former Forbes collection. That DOES have eggs.
If they kept any they might be in the Diamond Fund.
An early episode of the American TV series "Pawn Stars" also features a brooch which was recognized as being made by Faberge. The owner had originally wanted $200 for the brooch but then raised the price to $400 when she heard of the maker. The pawnbroker replied, "I'd love to pay you $400 but I could never live with myself - I'll pay you $14,000.".
Pure class
16,759.20 New Zealand Dollars ish
I think it's pretty.
I actually think the stone us a Russian demantoid garnet....they're green and were used by Karl Faberge.
She didn’t even think to translate it🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I live 1 hour away from Odessa❤
8 thousand? A trifle for Fabrege collectors.
True. However, this episode was taped in 2003.
Emerald by day ruby by night. I will not be surprised if that after analysis turns out as Russian Alexandrite.
8K, that's what you would pay to get a burial funeral plan in the UK today (2024)
Does the host really rub the satin with his finger? With such treatment, the box won’t be in great condition very long.
I’m pretty sure his hands were clean, and he’s very aware of what he could do and not damage the material.
He’s not a host, he is Geoffrey Munn, a renowned jewellery expert, historian and writer.
I think her mum had an affair and this was given as a subtle love token. It could be worn discretely and could be passed off as an inexpensive brooch.
Andor someone said this about YOUR mum?
What an awful thing to say without any proof.
any proof? or is it a fantasy of yours?
...but it was a fancy green diamond...
No it is a peridot
Damn now grandparents won’t give their stuffs out anymore
Possibly looted during war. It happened.
10,000 U.S. dollars
I am sure your mother would have wanted you to keep in the family
Would sell for $3000 in auction today
@0:58 there’s a little hair!!!!
AT A FLEA MARKET ,you have $14,000. Have you bumped your head!!! Not even at the FABULOUS MARTHA STEWART TAG SALE !!!!
Les bijoux anciens ont beaucoup de gens amateurs 3:49 3:51
Brooch or broche...
Brooch
@@juliansydney9819It's a french word therefore it's broche...but british like to be contradictory!
@@xmj6830so do Americans!
Been there. Unless you receive a professional appraisal IN WRITING, this is simple entertainment. I wonder what an insurance appraiser would value this at?
That is not zirkon that is peridot
how can u tell? lots of things can look like that; it could also be in the garnet group. I assume expert knows what Faberge tended to work with
Maybe somebody’s birthday was August?
Each to their own of course but I’m not keen on the colour of the jewel - it looks like a washed out emerald.
I wouldn’t sniff at the £8k though, and today it would be even more.
😅😅
It looks like Russian Alexandrite.
i doubt that's a zircon. more likely a demantoid garnet
2 to 3 thousands pounds im guessing crap 8 thousands pounds
Not a zircon! Take it to someone who knows what they're doing!!
So what is it? You're comfortable enough to say what it isn't but don't say what it is? If you're qualified, let us know, otherwise what's the point!
@@Sylvael2002I would personally venture that this is a peridot. “Green Zircon” surprised me as well, but I would not express it in the same way @idellbrown1825 did.
I genuinely think he said “green zircon” to convey an idea, since not everyone knows what a “peridot” (olivine) might be.
Demantoid garnet!
Says the you tube expert 🥱🥱🥱🥱🤡
@@simmiesim321you never whose on the other side
Has this woman no curiosity at all?😅
You’d think she would have at least gently cleaned it.
Why would she do that prior to taking it to the road show? If she wasn’t sure about it then she shouldn’t try to clean it and damage it.
Has this woman no manners at all? You’re rude.
Imagine not believing your daughter when you don't even have the wherewithal to simply look up what something means in Cyrillic
Wasn’t that easy before Google was started!
Yeah imagine…
Okay....okay...
So it is just so expensive now because of the name as the stones are worthless?
Faberge was known for its craftsmanship and design
@@frsgffybkwrmgrl and then using cheap stones?
@@HelenaRG71 they didn't always use rubies, diamonds, and so forth. It depended on the effect they wanted.
It’s not been cleaned they need to test the stone I don’t think it’s a green zurconi
He should calm down...😖😖😖
Not really exciting except for the name
The broach looks like a Chinese fake alot of them going around these days
correct its a little boys tie tac, tic tac they were called, on account of them being so small.
I am absolutely shocked by the lack of diversity!
Clearly, the BBC can, and must, do better..
You could use CGI to make this more diverse!!
😂😅 lol
It’s the UKs BBC, let’em be. I don’t need to see me on The Antiques Roadshow.
Funny.
What does that even mean?
She can get her teeth fixed
Only Americans would do that. The British don't share their culture of life-long body mutilation.
The guy was rambling on blah blah blah. 🙄 But then she says "Im a bit weak at the knees"...um HOW? She's sitting down. 🤦🏻♂️ Geez the BBC version is so boring compared to the US show.
I suppose you're from America then? The subtleties and calmness of this show is one of the main reasons people watch it. :)
