I was told by a collector that it is worth upwards of $8,0000. Is that so????
I believe it was Carl Faberge, of the House of Faberge, who made these "Faberge eggs" as they are usually called. See the Related Link below for the Wikipedia entry on the Faberge eggs.
I remember seeing one sometime in the 1980's I believe. Worth about $250 I believe (I think it had an amethyst heart on the front of it). I purchased one for a family member some time ago and am interested in one for myself if the price is right. (917) 647-7545.
Peter Carl Faberge, was the official Imperial purveyor of jewels to the House of Romanov. Faberge, was commissioned by Tsar Alexander III to design a jeweled Easter egg for his Empress; Marie Feodorovna in 1892. Nicholas II continued the tradition upon his accession, giving his mother the dowager Empress Marie and his wife, Tsarina Alexandra each a Faberge egg every Easter. The design was left entirely up to Faberge and his craftsmen. Each one a masterpiece of "subtlety, elegance and restraint". Of course Faberge designed many magnificent pieces of jewelry for most of St. Petersburg society. It is his eggs that he is most remembered for however and copies from the great to the gaudy are still recognizable around the world to this day. Faberge and his workshop broke up during the revolution. His last Imperial commission was Easter 1917. Peter Carl Faberge died in Switzerland in 1921.
