An egg for Easter


Drawing of the Imperial Rosebud Egg (Fabergé, 1895). A gift from Czar Nicolas II to Alexandra in 1895. Rows of diamonds edged with white enamel on gold divide the egg into panels, set on a background of translucent, wave patterned, red enamel. The egg is known as the Rosebud egg, because it contained an enamel rosebud as a suprise.

Happy Easter to all! See you next week...
