Fabergé unveils its second high jewellery collection since 1917, the all-white-diamond “Le Carnet de Bal” collection. The collection commemorates the splendour of bygone Russian winter celebrations – the banquets, balls and soirées that were a pivotal feature of St Petersburg society and Fabergé’s world at the turn of the 19th century. A “Le Carnet de Bal” (or dance card) served to record the names and order of the gentlemen with whom a lady had agreed to dance, and also as a memento of the ball. Fusing tradition and modernity, and priced at up to $1 million, the “Le Carnet de Bal” collection draws inspiration from winter themes and works by Peter Carl Fabergé to deliver contemporary interpretations of styles reminiscent of the Belle Époque era.
