The eggs Fabergé
Fabergé eggs are 59 jewelery creation created at the court of the tsar of all the Russias by Peter Carl Fabergé, of the homonymous company.
STORY:
Between 1885 and 1917 as many as 52 (59 also counting those for Kelch) were made of these gold Easter eggs, precious and precious materials, every year as the holiday approaches.
Fabergé and his goldsmiths designed and built the first egg in 1885. The egg was commissioned by Tsar Alexander III of Russia, as an Easter surprise for his wife Maria Fëdorovna. The egg, white with opaque enamel, had a Chinese box or Russian matryoshke structure: inside there was an all-gold yolk, containing in turn a hen colored with gold and enamels with ruby eyes . The latter contained a miniature copy of the imperial crown containing a small egg-shaped ruby.
The Tsarina was so pleased with this gift that Fabergé was appointed by Alessandro "court jeweler", and was commissioned to make an Easter gift every year from that moment on, with the condition that each egg had to be unique and had to contain one surprise.
