The Maker of Fabergé Eggs Has Been Sold to a Tech Investor
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." A tech entrepreneur has acquired Fabergé, the historic luxury brand famous for its ornate jeweled eggs, in a $50 million deal. Technology investor Sergei Mosunov, a Russian national, purchased the company through his U.S.-based investment firm, SMG Capital, more than 10 years after UK-based miner Gemfields acquired Fabergé. Under the agreement, Gemfields will receive $45 million when the sale closes later this month and the remaining $5 million through quarterly royalty payments. Founded by jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé in St. Petersburg, the company created gem-encrusted eggs for Russian emperors Alexander III and Nicholas II between 1885 and 1916. The surviving eggs continue to sell for millions at auctions when they do pop up. The record-holder is the Rothschild Clock Egg, which in 2007 sold for £8.9 million (approximately $18.5 million at the exchange rate at the time). In 2004, Russian billionaire Viktor Vekselberg bought nine imperial eggs from the Forbes family for more than $90 million, endowing him with one of the largest private collections of Fabergé eggs. Today, Fabergé also makes more modern luxury products like jewelry, including engagement rings and wedding bands, and high-end watches. But continuing to make Fabergé eggs are still the cash cows. A Guilloché enamel strawberry surprise egg, for example, retails for approximately $74,000. Mosunov told the Financial Times that it is 'a great honor for me to become the custodian of such an outstanding and globally recognized brand.' He also said that he plans to direct the company to continue its focus on newer products like watches and jewelry.

Alexander Isak now two steps CLOSER to Liverpool move
While the situation is far more complex than many are claiming, the reality is that is unlikely to go anywhere if Newcastle aren't able to find sufficient attacking replacements for him. It's been rumoured that Yohan Wissa's move from Brentford is close and Chelsea's Nicholas Jackson is said to be on the move this summer, with the Magpies potentially considering making an approach. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! But until something more concrete develops, we're likely to be stuck in a similar slump with Isak. 🔴 Prior to signing Hugo Ekitike, the Reds offered him to Newcastle in exchange for the Swede, but there was no encouragement that such a deal could work and so the Frenchman moved to Anfield. Furthermore, we could've seen a lot more movement on Isak if Benjamin Sesko had picked Newcastle instead of Manchester United, but the Red Devils successfully snatched him away. Now we're having to scramble until the Saudi PIF get their recruitment business in order. Newcastle linked with more attackers Alongside Jackson and Wissa, it appears as though a few more feelers have been sent out. A report from John Percy at The Telegraph claims Newcastle have strong interest in Leicester's Bilal El Khannouss, a young attacking midfielder who has a release clause in his contract. This would certainly streamline the negotiating process and he would bolster their forward options. It must be said that several other Premier League clubs are interested in a possible deal, so the Magpies won't have a free run at him, but if Eddie Howe is conceived by him, then you never know. In addition, L'Equipe are reporting that striker Arnaud Kalimuendo could sign in England in the coming days, with Brentford and Newcastle in talks. The slight caveat to this deal is that Brentford are more advanced, although this would make sense if Newcastle's move for Wissa is getting closer. So we're looking at two potential deals that would certainly bring Isak closer to joining Liverpool. Whether any of them go through is still to be seen, Howe and his PIF bosses have struggled to get their targets over the line this summer, but you'd expect them to catch a break sooner or later. As such, we might start to see a little but more movement on Isak in the coming days now that some new targets are being considered by Newcastle to replace him, and while we've not been given the all clear, it appears as though everything else would fall into place once the green light is signalled.
