the ultimate lily of the valley item



I was watching a program on the history channel about Faberge treasure and they showed this. I,of course had to google it so you could all see it too.


This is the Imperial egg that Czar Nicholas had Faberge make for Alexandra in 1898. On the top is a portrait of Nicholas and their first two daughters Olga and Tatiana.

"Inspired by Tsarina Alexandra's favorite flower, the pink enameled egg presented on Easter 1898 is decorated with lily of the valley pearl and diamond-set blossoms. These delicate sprays are nestled among green enameled leaves that conceal a pearl "button" that causes the ruby and diamond-set Imperial crown to raise."
