Imperial Easter Egg
The Faberge name is identified with the world’s most luxurious art pieces. More than 100 years ago, Czar Alexander III commissioned Faberge to create the first Imperial Easter Egg as a gift for his wife, Empress Maria Feodorovna. Its success lead to the celebrated series of 50 Imperial Easter Eggs, often displayed in the world’s leading museums.

 Gold is usually alloyed in jewellery to give it more strength, and the term carat describes the amount of gold present (24 carats is pure gold). It is estimated that all the gold in the world, so far refined, could be placed in a single cube 60 ft. on a side. It is metallic, with a yellow colour when in a mass, but when finely divided it may be black, ruby, or purple.
