The design
The shell is gold with a bold zebra stripe in enamel, an African theme carried through to the surprise: a panther wrapped in the South African flag. Three panther feet lift the egg, and the base is set with rubies, diamonds, emeralds and sapphires.
The surprise
Like the Imperial eggs, it opens to reveal a surprise. Here it is a sculpted panther in the colours of the South African flag, made to sit inside the shell.

Questions people ask
Is this an Imperial Fabergé egg?
No. It is a modern limited-edition Fabergé egg, made in the 2000s in an edition of ten. Imperial eggs were made for the Tsars between 1885 and 1916. Modern licensed eggs are genuine Fabergé, valued on their own design, edition and condition.
What is inside the egg?
A sculpted panther draped in the colours of the South African flag, carrying through the African theme of the zebra enamel and the three panther feet. A surprise inside is a tradition that goes back to the first Imperial egg of 1885.
How are modern Fabergé eggs marked?
With FABERGÉ in Latin letters, an edition number, 750 for 18KT gold and hallmarks, usually with a fitted case and documents. Our guide to telling if a Fabergé egg is real shows how these marks differ from Imperial-era Russian marks.
How much is a modern Fabergé egg worth?
It depends on the design and edition size, the surprise, the stones, the condition of the enamel and whether it has its case and documents, together with current demand. We do not publish prices. Send photographs for a free value inspection.
