Over-the-top ornamentation characterizes these jeweler-style, museum-quality enameled eggs first made famous by the House of Romanov's imperial jeweler in the 19th century. The Minishka boasts an intricate filigree of an emerald and violet purple-hued geometrics while the Redonka lifts from its tripod base and opens to reveal a spot for tiny treasures. Both are cast in pewter using the ancient lost wax method and before the brilliant enamel, faux jewels and tiny embellishments are added. These fired enameled metal collectibles feature magnetic closures to safely protect your tiny treasures.
I received my Renaissance Faberge Style Enameled Egg Couleur Rose, just this afternoon, delivered by FEDEX ground delivery services. The rose enamel finish has almost a pearl-like patina to it and the crystal settings add that extra bling. The egg reminds me of ornately decorative objects that once could be found in George IV era manor houses in England and continental European residences of the wealthy and royal in France, Austria and Russia. Well done.. Deeanna. Alberta. Fri Nov 29 2024
