Fabergé Antique Ruby Diamond Demantoid Basket Brooch August Holmstrom

Fabergé Ruby, Diamond & Demantoid Garnet Basket Brooch by August Holmström

A sublime example of Imperial-era artistry, this exquisite brooch is attributed to the legendary House of Fabergé and bears the maker’s mark of August Holmström, one of its most celebrated workmasters.

Delicately shaped in the form of a flower-filled basket, the brooch is rendered in a sophisticated combination of silver and gold. The floral arrangement bursts with vivid rubies, rare green demantoid garnets, and shimmering rose-cut diamonds, each stone carefully selected and set with masterful precision. The balance of color and form creates an impression of natural elegance and timeless refinement.

This brooch is more than a jewel—it is a work of art from the golden age of Fabergé, encapsulating the charm, rarity, and extraordinary craftsmanship for which the firm remains world-renowned.
