A striking early-2000s Fabergé-style Elgin egg clock featuring deep cobalt-blue enamel, silver latticework, and rhinestone accents. The hinged egg opens to reveal a polished silver Elgin quartz clock suspended inside its sculpted interior cradle. Comes with its matching silver stand, making it a perfect miniature display piece for desks, vanities, or curio cabinets.
This clock is quartz-driven (battery operated) and runs and keeps time accurately. A collectible fusion of décor and function.
📚 Historical Context

During this era, Fabergé-style “jeweled egg” clocks became a popular luxury-inspired décor trend, sold in boutique gift shops and museum stores.
The cobalt-blue enamel + silver lattice combination mirrors the color palettes seen in late-19th-century Imperial eggs, making these early-2000s Elgin designs highly collectible today.
