In a groundbreaking collaboration that fuses the worlds of luxury and cinematic surrealism, Fabergé has partnered with visionary filmmaker Tim Burton to create a singular masterpiece: the Fabergé x Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Egg Objet.

This exclusive objet d’art captures the whimsical darkness of Burton’s Beetlejuice world, promising an extraordinary experience for collectors and fans alike when it is unveiled in 2025.

The Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Egg Objet is designed as a theatrical, one-of-a-kind piece that celebrates Burton’s signature gothic artistry. Drawing on the monochromatic aesthetics of the Beetlejuice films, Fabergé has incorporated iconic motifs such as coiling sandworms and monochrome stripes. The piece, led by Fabergé’s Creative Director Josina von dem Bussche-Kessell and Head of Design Liisa Tallgren, channels Burton’s world with rich references and intricate, surrealistic details.

Burton himself, a long-time admirer of Fabergé’s craftsmanship, expressed his excitement, saying, “I wanted to create a piece that was humorous and fun, while also honoring the brand’s legendary quality in movement and animation.” The egg, which opens uniquely in a synchronized top-and-bottom motion, will reveal a stunning gem-set wedding cake that rotates—a nod to the darkly comedic wedding scene from Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

In keeping with Fabergé’s tradition of adding unexpected surprises, the wedding cake conceals a customizable celebration ring featuring a 2.2-carat Mozambican ruby sourced from Gemfields. This precious touch offers a playful invitation for a truly memorable proposal, tying into Fabergé’s historical affinity for hidden treasures and intricate design.

Von dem Bussche-Kessell commented on the synergy between the two creative titans: “Peter Carl Fabergé was the original collaborator, always merging the highest level of creative brilliance with the best talent. Working with Tim and Colleen Atwood, who designed Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’s costumes, brought this shared vision to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined.”

Meticulously crafted by Fabergé’s artisans, the egg objet is imbued with pioneering craftsmanship and innovative engineering. A meticulous Workmaster based in southeast England oversees the intricate assembly, blending traditional techniques with cutting-edge design to create an unprecedented dual-opening mechanism that showcases both the inner and outer beauty of the objet.

The Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Egg Objet not only captures the avant-garde spirit of Burton’s work but also speaks to Fabergé’s legacy as the world’s most iconic jeweler. Since its founding in 1842, Fabergé has continuously innovated, captivating art connoisseurs and luxury enthusiasts with objets d’art that tell stories and commemorate cultural milestones.

Burton, recently honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, is celebrated for nearly four decades of creating unforgettable cinematic universes. His collaboration with Fabergé underscores the shared commitment to a boundless creative vision, as well as a fearless approach to artistry that defies conventional boundaries.

To secure this timeless piece of Beetlejuice history, discerning collectors are invited to contact Fabergé for further information on this remarkable objet d’art, which promises to be a cherished heirloom and a piece of cinematic history.
