Nicholas and Alexandra had been married just a few short weeks after his father's death, and it was necessary that he have an Easter gift for her. They were now the Tsar and Tsarina of all Russia and whatever had been given her prior to their ascension, the Easter that was approaching would be his first Easter gift to her as the Tsar. It was imperative that it be spectacular. Working under enormous pressure because of time constraints, Fabergé brought forth this exquisite treasure.

The egg was originally made in translucent strawberry red enamel over a striated guilloché design with a cream velvet lining in which sat a golden yellow Rosebud; the Rosebud with a very fine invisible hinge opened to reveal the surprise --- a miniature Imperial Crown completely set with diamonds. Sometime during the early part of the Revolution when the Egg was in the hands of the revolutionaries, the crown disappeared. Today Fabergé has placed a delicate chain carrying a tiny Egg, a replica of this particular egg, inside of the Yellow Rose. The pendant has a large table cut crystal in its base. The whole thing sits on a four-legged display stand. All of the metal work is sterling silver plated in 24 karat gold.

Retail: $750.00. Our price: $674.90. The Egg comes to you in a handsome velvet case with documentation.

This Egg is available in Deep Blue, Emerald as shown below, Strawberry, and Coronation Gold.
