Man who stole handbag containing rare Faberge egg and watch worth £2m jailed
The missing Fabergé egg and watch remain unrecovered after insurers paid £106,700 for the drinks company’s loss, prosecutors said.
- On Thursday, Enzo Conticello, 29, was sentenced to two years and three months in prison after admitting theft and fraud for stealing a Givenchy handbag containing a rare Fabergé egg and watch worth £2 million.
- Conticello approached Rosie Dawson, Director of Premium Brands at the Craft Irish Whiskey Company, outside the Dog and Duck pub in Soho on November 7, 2024, and stole her handbag while she stood in the smoking area.
- Although insurers paid £106,700 for the loss, the set carries a minimum estimated value of £2.1 million; prosecutors noted Conticello admitted wanting "easy cash" and likely did not intend to steal such high-value items.
- Metropolitan Police detectives continue searching for the missing green-and-gold Fabergé egg and rose-gold watch, urging anyone with information to come forward as the limited-edition set remains unrecovered.
- Fabergé eggs commissioned by Tsar Nicholas II between 1885 and 1916 remain symbols of extreme opulence; only seven such sets exist, making recovery critical for the Craft Irish Whiskey Company's financial position.
