“The magic of Fabergé lay within his ability to combine the novelty of aesthetic inspiration with functional value... punctuated with a touch of whimsy and sheer delight.” Fabergé was first “discovered” in 1882 when Czar Alexander III and his wife, Czarina Marie Feodorovna, bought one of his first creations. Three years later, it was Fabergé who was commissioned to create the very first Imperial Easter Egg as a gift to Czarina – An annual tradition that lasted until the fall of the Romanov Dynasty. Upon fleeing Russia in 1918, it was the Cross of St. George Egg that Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna took with her. Today, Fabergé is a word that speaks volumes. "Perhaps best known as official jeweler for Imperial Czarist Russia, Fabergé is the creator of exquisitely designed masterpieces that have stood the test of time.” Back Click image to view collection
