The Fabergé name carries unmistakable weight — and this watch earns its association through genuine attention to detail: a scalloped flower case encrusted with marcasite-style beading, a white enamel dial with Roman numeral indices, and an open link bracelet punctuated by round pink rhinestones at each connector.

The combination of dark antiqued silver, delicate marcasite texture, and soft pink stones is restrained and lovely. Untested.

These clip earrings move through two distinct registers — a fan-shaped palmette top in high relief giving way to a suspended Gothic-arched drop with a textured medallion center and open geometric surround. The palmette form draws from neoclassical ornament while the pointed arch drop leans medieval, a pairing that recurred frequently in the decorative revival aesthetics of 1960s and 70s costume jewelry. The oxidized gold tone adds depth to the casting. Substantial and architectural without being heavy.
