Fabergé Antique Diamond Gemstone Basket Bow Brooch August Holmstrom

Fabergé Diamond, Emerald, and Sapphire Brooch by August Holmström

An exceptional jewel from the Imperial era, this antique brooch was crafted by renowned Fabergé workmaster August Holmström, whose artistry defined the golden age of Russian jewelry. The design features two finely sculpted baskets brimming with gemstones, flanking a gracefully tied bow at the center—a composition that evokes both opulence and refined femininity.

Rendered in silver and gold, the brooch is adorned with rose-cut diamonds that glisten with subtle brilliance. Emeralds and sapphires, carefully selected for their saturated color and fine quality, add striking contrast and elegance to the piece. Every element reflects Fabergé’s commitment to detail, balance, and exceptional workmanship.

This museum-worthy brooch is not only a decorative masterpiece but also a rare example of Fabergé’s iconic style and the technical finesse of Holmström’s atelier.
