It all began when Tsar Alexander III of Russia commissioned Peter Carl Faberg\u00e9 to create a jeweled egg as an easter gift for his wife, Empress Maria Feodorovna. What started out as a one time order, began an annual tradition that his son Tsar Nicolas II, would continue until the end of the House of Romanovs’ at the outbreak of the Russian revolution in 1917. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faberg\u00e9 completed a total of 50 eggs for the royal family, 43 of which are accounted for today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inherent beauty of these red luscious rubies express power and wisdom.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the first egg was created, Faberg\u00e9 was given complete creative control for each design, with the details kept secret, even from the Tsar, until the unveiling. Faberge oversaw the production of each egg, as they were crafted by teams of jewelers, metalsmiths, designers, and other specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imperial Renaissance Easter Egg Needlepoint Kit<\/a><\/strong>
Inspired by the last Faberg\u00e9 egg which was gifted to Empress Maria Feodorovna from Alexander III, this design resembles an oval agate casket which was created by the Dutch Master Le Roy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the eggs were made of precious materials, their value lay not in the cost of the particular jewels or metals used but in the inventiveness and skills the artists brought to each one. Many of the eggs, contained a hidden treasure, a small piece of art as detailed and intricate as the egg itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the Bolsheviks took St. Petersburg, they seized the eggs selling some of them and holding onto others. Each egg has gone on its own journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
