Fabergé hatches Game of Thrones dragon
Fabergé has hatched 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 opportunity for one individual to acquire a modern-day heirloom
This year Fabergé unveils their latest future legacy design. The timing couldn’t be better, with April 2021 seeing Game of Thrones celebrate the 10th anniversary of its debut episode – a major milestone 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.
Fabergé’s Head Designer, Liisa Tallgren, worked closely with Game of Thrones’ Costume Designer Michele Clapton to create an intricate and enchanting design that tells the tale of Daenerys Targaryen’s quest to take her place on the Iron Throne.
The design references Daenerys Targaryen’s incredible journey and the importance of colour within her costumes, her passion for her dragons, and her jewellery. References from the textures of the dragons and their iconic eggs were used to inform the surfaces of this egg objet, according to Michele Clapton.
This one-of-a-kind bespoke creation is reminiscent of Daenerys’ dragon eggs, while also intertwining subtle nods to her stand-out costumes, the landscape and her evolving story arc. The design choices are informed by Daenerys’ journey from orphaned exile to conquering monarch and her ongoing quest for the Iron Throne.
The egg opens to reveal a beautiful surprise in the form of a crown sat majestically atop a glistening crystal base. This is a miniature 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.
There was never a doubt what the secret gift should be; it had to be the crown that Daenerys believed throughout her life was her destiny. With the crown, Clapton referenced her dragons, their wings sweeping around protecting the beautiful Gemfields ruby that represents Daenerys, her house colour, and her fierce quest to rule.
