Description

In the winter palace of a story-book empire, the empress receives one jeweled egg each Easter from her husband. The court waits breathlessly to see what color it will be. This year it arrives on a little pedestal, wrapped in gold lattice over a deep maroon shell, and the empress declares it her favorite yet. The court jeweler bows low, quietly relieved.

This egg has that same imperial air. A rich maroon exterior is wrapped in a delicate gold lattice, and the whole piece is raised on a pedestal like a treasure displayed in a museum case. It opens to hold small treasures, perhaps a ring, a pendant or a love note. It deserves a prominent spot on a vanity or in a curio cabinet. Offer it to a collector of eggs, a lover of grand imperial art, or anyone who deserves to feel like royalty.

What makes it special

  • An egg raised on a pedestal

  • Brushed with care by Limoges artisans in France
  • A formal, jewel-like look for a vanity or display cabinet
