The History of Faberge Eggs
 The history of Faberge eggs begins in 18th century Russia. In 1885 Peter Carl Faberge was commissioned by Tsar Alexander III to create a decorative Easter egg as a gift for his wife, the Tsarina. Peter Faberge designed a work of art unlike anything the world had seen before. He fashioned an egg that when opened revealed a gold hen nestled in a golden yolk. Within the hen was a tiny reproduction of the Imperial Crown which was fashioned from a diamond. From the crown dangled a dazzling ruby. The Tsar's wife so loved her gift that Faberge was asked to create a new egg each Easter. In the beginning the Tsar had them designed based upon his own ideas but eventually he granted Faberge complete artistic freedom to design the eggs himself. Each egg's design represented a historical Russian event. Faberge's workshop continued to create these beautiful works of art until 1917 when the Russian revolution forced him to flee the country.
Today, the Faberge name and tradition lives on in a new generation of craftsmen. Faberge continues to create beautiful works of art and jewelry to the delight of collectors the world over.
