Faberge Egg Design Project: Exploring History, Design, and Development

This project explores the history and design of Faberge eggs, examining their significance in Russian history and their evolution. The project encompasses comprehensive secondary research, including analysis of key words, mind maps, and project proposals. It delves into primary research, including questionnaires and annotations of design illustrations. The design development phase includes mood boards, design sketches, and a statement of intent. The final design outcome is evaluated, highlighting the strengths of the research and the effectiveness of the design in depicting the history of romanticism and revolution associated with Faberge jewelry. The project aims to understand the historical context, romantic elements, and modern interpretations of Faberge eggs.

the world and elite members of the
society.

• This presentation looks at
the history of Faberge eggs
along with romanticizing of
Faberge eggs. A mind map,
proposal design,
development, mood board,
evaluation report along with
primary and secondary
research is included in this
presentation.

Secondary Research
• As per the views of Pokovba (2021), the
items created by the Russian Jeweler Faberge
were not limited to jeweled decorative eggs
but also include Faberge botanical items.
• Faberge botanical jewelry is highly valued
because only 80 flower and fruit studies are
known to have survived now valued at
millions per piece.

The flowers and strawberries sculpted in
stone set in water made of rock and crystal
by Peter Karl Faberge which is labeled as
wild cherry are considered some of the
most valued artistic jewelry pieces in the
world.
Faberge studied botany plants floral herbs
berries and other elements of nature in
order to depict them clearly in a beyond life
like delicate detail so that the Queens and
other royal elites get pleased with his work.

• The genius craftsmanship of Faberge
was in demand by different royal
families across Europe and is also
considered as high quality jewelry to
this day.
• The botanical jewelry constructed by
Faberge was more valued in Russia
because many of the natural
elements in Faberge’s botanical
jewelry were not found in rural
mountains of Russia making the
floral jewelry even more precious.

Mind Map
• A mind map is defined as a
diagram where information is
represented visually with the
usage of the central idea being
placed in the middle and
associated ideas being arranged
around it so that the final desert
can be visualized by analyzing
the mind map.

• Mind map for the respective presentation includes
the central idea of a Faberge which linked ideas of
Kelch eggs, botanical Faberge, ornaments and
internal articles linked around it so that a proper
way of completing the research and imagining the
final results can be determined.
• Developing a mind map is advantageous because
it makes complex ideas easier to understand and
helps present the main area of the research in a
simplistic and attractive manner.

Project Proposal
• Section 1: Review
• I was able to develop detailed and
quality drawings throughout unit 1 and
two of various Faberge objects including
Faberge eggs and botanical items on the
basis of secondary research as well as on
line data about Faberge eggs.
• I was able to make use of simplistic
channels for communicating my ideas
such as pen and pencil.
