Fabergé Forever Pink Opal Egg Pendant: an Imperial Shape in a Pastel Stone

Fabergé has added a fifth stone to its Forever egg pendants. After lapis lazuli, turquoise, tiger’s eye and malachite comes pink opal, set in rose gold and circled by a belt of diamonds, the detail that links the little pendant to the Imperial Easter Eggs.

On 20 October 2026 Fabergé announced that its Forever Pink Opal Egg Pendant is now available online. Until then it had been sold only in London, where the house launched it exclusively in its boutique for The Art of Wonder exhibition. It belongs to Fabergé Heritage, the line that turns the egg silhouettes and motifs of the house’s history into contemporary jewelry.

Two halves of opal and a belt of diamonds

The pendant joins four existing Forever egg pendants in lapis lazuli, turquoise, tiger’s eye and malachite. The idea is the same in every version: an egg-shaped stone, wrapped by a band of diamonds that softly breaks the egg into two parts and gives it depth. Here the stone is pink opal in two pieces with a total weight of 10.98 carats, set in 18k rose gold, which Fabergé chose for its soft contrast with the pink. The belt holds 32 round diamonds with a total weight of 0.4 carats.

The pendant hangs on a 50 cm rose gold trace chain, 1.3 mm thick, with a small egg tag. The reference is 4479/1, and the price in Fabergé’s UK online shop is £3,840.

Why the belt matters

The diamond belt is one of Fabergé’s oldest signatures. It appears on several Imperial Easter Eggs, among them the Danish Palace Egg of 1890, the Rosebud Egg of 1895 and the Twelve Monogram Egg of 1896. The first Imperial Egg dates from 1885. Hardstones play a similar part in the house’s past: the workshops carved them into studies and sculptures and paired them with precious gemstones for a balance of strength and refinement, a pairing the new pendant repeats with opal and diamonds.

The Art of Wonder

The pendant’s first outing was a fitting one. From 15 September to 14 October 2026, Fabergé turned its boutique in London’s Piccadilly Arcade into a museum and opened the doors to its archives for the first time. The Art of Wonder was part of the celebrations for the 180th anniversary of Peter Carl Fabergé and showed objets de fantaisie, jewelry and treasures from the workshops of the Fabergé workmasters next to contemporary creations.

Our view

Pink opal is a different stone from the opal most people picture. It is usually common opal, without the flashes of colour that made black and white opal famous, and it is valued for an even, milky pastel tone; much of it comes from the Andes in Peru. As October’s birthstone, opal also makes this pendant an obvious gift for an October birthday.

Opal is soft, between 5.5 and 6.5 on the Mohs scale, and holds a little water. Keep it away from ultrasonic cleaners, steam and long hours of strong sun; a damp cloth is all it needs, and a pendant is one of the safest ways to wear it. Our opal profile and the guide to caring for fine jewelry at home have the details.
