Faberge Heritage Rose Gold Emerald Diamond Transformable Necklace with Elephant Surprise 2764
This unique piece has been created exclusively for the international conservation charity, Space for Giants as part of their Walk for Giants campaign in partnership with Gemfields.
The one-of-a-kind transformable necklace features an 18ct rose gold egg pendant, hand-painted in deep green guilloché enamel, which opens to reveal a miniature elephant cast in 18k yellow gold with two diamonds for eyes. The locket hangs from an 18ct rose gold chain comprised of 206 Gemfields Zambian emerald beads, interspersed with round and princess-cut diamonds. The locket is 22mm.
The chain can be worn as a long necklace or transformed into three bracelets, and the protective shell of the pendant is a metaphor for the protection that elephants, and other endangered African wildlife, are currently in such dire need of.
The collection features stunning Gemfields Zambian emeralds. Gemfields work with local communities, governments and conservation NGOs to ensure every gemstone sold supports health, education and livelihood initiatives, minimises effects on our environment and protects Africa’s biodiversity.
$50,000 from the sale of this pendant will be donated to Space for Giants.
