Year of the Rat Fabergé Egg Locket in Yellow Gold and Red Guilloché Enamel
The Faberge Egg Pendant Chinese Zodiac Rat Surprise Locket is a finely crafted celebration of symbolism, craftsmanship, and cultural tradition. Created in honour of Chinese New Year, this exceptional piece pays tribute to the Year of the Rat, a revered symbol of wealth, intelligence, resourcefulness, and kindness in Chinese culture. Expertly crafted in 18 karat yellow gold, the locket is finished with rich red guilloché enamel applied over an engraved surface. This traditional decorative technique enhances the depth and luminosity of the enamel, allowing the underlying guilloché pattern to emerge through the vibrant red finish, creating movement and visual complexity.
Brilliant round white diamonds are carefully set across the exterior, adding refined sparkle and elevating the warm tones of the yellow gold and enamel. The result is a balanced composition that reflects opulence and precision. The egg-shaped locket reveals a detailed golden rat, concealed within the pendant. This hidden figure represents the intelligence and prosperity associated with the Rat in the Chinese zodiac, continuing Fabergé’s longstanding tradition of surprise, storytelling, and miniature artistry. The pendant measures 22mm and is suspended from a 50cm 18 karat yellow gold chain. Years associated with the Rat include 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, and 2020.
Each piece is presented in Fabergé’s signature gift packaging and includes a lifetime warranty, complimentary worldwide delivery, and secure, fully insured shipping.
