Faberg茅: The iconic maker of bespoke jewellery

A rare glimpse into the inner workings of this internationally recognised brand as they create one of their iconic jewelled eggs.

The internationally renowned jewellery company Faberg茅 is best known for its iconic jewelled eggs, which are synonymous with extreme wealth and luxury.

In the Studio has been allowed rare entry inside its doors, where the inner workings of the commissioning process, resulting in the acquisition of a bespoke Faberg茅 objet d鈥檃rt, is revealed.

Felicity Finch follows the company鈥檚 unusual partnership with The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. who have commissioned the first Celtic jewelled egg, as part of a seven-piece set featuring the oldest triple distilled Irish whiskey in the world.

Felicity speaks with Faberg茅鈥檚 Global Sales and Business Development Director Josina von dem Bussche-Kessell and Marcus Mohr, the Workmaster who oversees the craftspeople keeping alive the rare, traditional enamelling techniques in their German workshop.

She also meets the whiskey company founder and CEO Jay Bradley, who is hoping his deadline will be met despite the difficulties thrown up by the pandemic. Will the dream of holding his very own Faberg茅 egg in his hands be fulfilled?
