In celebration of the 60th anniversary of Goldfinger (1964), Fabergé has introduced a Goldfinger-themed egg surprise locket, along with a striking new ring that joins the 'Octopussy' capsule collection.

The first piece revealed is the 'Fabergé x 007 Goldfinger Egg Safe Locket with Ruby Heart Surprise'. Inspired by the Fort Knox gold depository, which is central to the film’s plot, the locket—crafted from 18k yellow gold—opens to reveal a responsibly sourced Gemfields Mozambican heart-shaped ruby. The ruby symbolizes the character Goldfinger’s obsession with gold, with the bail of the pendant shaped like the ‘G’ in the same font as the signet ring worn by the character in the film. This is Fabergé's first egg locket designed in this manner, bringing together Bond's cinematic legacy and the jeweller’s iconic craftsmanship.

Joining the collection is the 'Fabergé x 007 Octopussy Ring', made from 18k brushed yellow gold. The ring takes the form of an octopus, with 48 round brilliant-cut diamonds representing the octopus' suckers. As a hidden treasure, a Gemfields Mozambican ruby is tucked inside the ring band—a secret detail known only to the wearer. The design pays homage to the film 'Octopussy', incorporating Fabergé’s penchant for surprise with Bond’s intrigue.

These new pieces, available for pre-order starting today, follow the successful launch of the 'Fabergé x 007 Octopussy Egg Surprise Locket' and 'Limited-Edition Fabergé x 007 Octopussy Egg Objet' earlier this year in March.

Fabergé's Creative Director, Josina von dem Bussche-Kessell, said: "Another set of beautiful additions to our Fabergé x 007 James Bond Partnership with EON, these collectible pieces continue to commemorate iconic symbols and themes from the Bond universe, brought to life in signature Fabergé styles."

Liisa Tallgren, Head of Design at Fabergé, added: "The glamour and appreciation of beauty and culture is where the worlds of Bond and Fabergé meet. It's the perfect place to create a collection of very special pieces that honour both Fabergé heritage and Bond storytelling."

The new Fabergé x 007 creations are available for purchase at select Fabergé boutiques in Dubai, Macau, and London’s Burlington Arcade, as well as online at Faberge.com and 007Store.com.
