James Bond fans set to bid for limited edition 007 Easter Egg on sale for eye-watering price
JAMES Bond fans will need Goldfingers to afford a limited edition 007 Easter egg on sale for £115,200.
Just 50 have been created by the Russian jewellery firm Faberge to commemorate a plotline in the 1983 Bond movie Octopussy.
The plot of the classic 13th Bond starring Roger Moore as the MI6 agent centres around an elaborate Faberge egg heist.
Described as a “precious collector’s piece” the hand-crafted and numbered eggs are made from “18 karat yellow gold-green guilloché enamel, diamonds and blue sapphires”.
Each of the eggs feature 180 round brilliant cut white diamonds with a total weight of 1.49ct, four blue sapphires, two black diamonds and four yellow diamonds.
The tiny 3.3in egg opens to reveal an 18k yellow gold octopus adorned with white diamond suckers and black diamond eyes.
Liisa Tallgren, Fabergé’s Head of Design said: “The Fabergé 007 Octopussy Egg closely follows the design of the Fabergé egg that was featured in the film Octopussy.
“I also wanted to incorporate the iconic letter ‘O’ from the Octopussy film’s title treatment in a playful way, which you can see featured as the bail on the piece”.
The eggs are only available online and at high-end boutiques in Dubai and Macau, China.
