Fabergé’s flower studies traditionally incorporate nephrite to form leaves of remarkable delicacy. Finely carved and subtly polished, the stone creates a flawless trompe l’oeil, eternally preserving the fleeting beauty of nature in bloom. | | Fabergé’s flower studies traditionally incorporate nephrite to form leaves of remarkable delicacy.

The exceptional durability of nephrite made it ideal for sculptural hardstone figures. A recurring and symbolic animal within Fabergé’s legacy, the elephant is entirely carved from nephrite. Its deep green colour beautifully contrasts with diamond-set eyes that bring both character and vitality to this creation. | | The exceptional durability of nephrite made it ideal for sculptural hardstone figures.
