Faberge is a jewelry name that is known more for their eggs than their jewelry work. When an apparent Faberge spider brooch strolled to the "Pawn Stars" pawn shop, the seller was offered $15,000, although she was just asking $2,000. The Faberge company, however, is saying that the Faberge spider brooch might well be a fake. The seller of that brooch got a larger payday loan than she was expecting.

The Faberge spider brooch can be viewed
On the History Channel show “Pawn Stars,” a customer walked into Gold and Silver Pawn with a jewel-encrusted spider brooch. While cleaning a family members' house, she found it. She was asking for $2,000 for the brooch, because it had jewels all over it. Rick, the co-owner of the pawn shop, said that he would love to pay $2,000 for it, but he “had a conscience.”. He said that it was a rare Faberge piece that he'd pay $15,000 for even though it was worth twice that.
The real price the Faberge spider brooch has
There is a lot of jewelry that is brought to the Gold and Silver Pawn shop. There are other things accepted too, of course. From the filming of the episode, it is tough to tell if there are any hallmarks or identifying marks on the spider brooch. Episodes don't usually end up showing the whole process that happens with the inspection. The whole conversation isn't even shown. Given that the shop owners know a lot about jewelry and antiques, the likelihood that the Faberge spider brooch is really Faberge seems very high.
Response from Faberge company
The Faberge company, officially known as The House of Faberge, has spoken up about the possible Faberge spider brooch. Apparently an eight legged brooch does “not fit into the luxury jeweler’s creative vision.” This is why Tatiana Zherebkina sent an e-mail to "Time" magazine as the spokeswoman for Faberge saying that it is "untrue and unfounded" that a Faberge spider brooch was found. The new Faberge company, though, does not have complete records on the company. In 1917, the jeweler’s workshops were ransacked and Peter Carl Faberge died in Switzerland. There was then a 92 year wait before his descendants re-launched the firm. The artwork that is there might be very true. It might also just be an expensive brooch that is a little too normal.
