Historical Background
Fabergé Eggs, known as Imperial Eggs, were created in the workshop of the court jeweler to Tsar Alexander III. Each one was made to order for the ruler. The first piece was created in 1885 as an Easter gift for the Tsar's wife, Maria Feodorovna Romanova. Every year, Peter Carl Fabergé received an order to make another egg, using gold, mother-of-pearl, silver, enamel, precious stones, and ivory for its creation. Interestingly, each egg contained a surprise. After the death of Alexander III, his son Nicholas II continued the tradition of ordering eggs.
The most expensive egg in the world, as well as the highest-valued piece of goldsmith art, is considered to be the Fabergé Coronation Egg, made in 1897 for Tsar Nicholas II, who gave it as a gift to his newlywed wife, Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. Its appearance and style refer to the imperial coronation of Nicholas II, which took place in May 1896.
