Crowning Glory

- By Chumki Bharadwaj

What happens when you marry the world’s most iconic jeweller with one of 21st century’s most popular shows? Fables are ordained. Inextricab­ly linked with Easter since their annual tradition of Imperial Easter eggs began in 1885, Fabergé’s legendary eggs have captured imaginatio­ns for generation­s. This April, Fabergé is hatching a new collaborat­ion with Warner Bros. Consumer Products to commemorat­e the extraordin­ary story of HBO®’s award-winning television series Game of Thrones. Co-designed by Fabergé and Michele Clapton, the Emmy® and BAFTA® winning costume designer from Game of Thrones, this one-off work of art is history in the making and offers a unique opportunti­y to acquire a modern day heirloom, as Game of Thrones celebrates the 10th anniversar­y of its debut episode. Dubbed “The Iron Anniversar­y”, this global year-long celebratio­n will be a chance for fans to revisit the most unforgetta­ble moments of the world’s biggest television series, and the jewel in the crown will be the Imperial Class Fabergé Game of Thrones Egg. This one-of-a-kind bespoke creation is reminiscen­t of Daenerys’ dragon eggs, with a subtle nod to her stand-out costumes, which celebrate the landscape around her and her evolving story arc. The egg opens to reveal a crown sat majestical­ly atop a glistening crystal base. This is a minature version of the crown that would have been presented to Daenerys should she have held the Iron Throne. Set with a pear-cut ruby responsibl­y sourced from Gemfields’ Montepuez ruby mine in Mozambique, it celebrates the ultimate fan moment.
