Faberge Eggs

There are only 68 original Faberge eggs found in the entire world, and the worth a fortune. They were made by Paul Carl Faberge from 1885 until 1917. The concept for Faberge eggs was introduced in the late 1800’s in Russia because of the importance of Easter in that particular culture.

The Czar of Russia had one made for his wife so she could remember the importance of the Easter holiday all year long. The first egg was given to her in 1884 and the Czar gave her one every single year for Easter. Each one featured a different design and you proudly displayed each one he gave her. Of the 68 Faberge eggs made 54 of them were for the Czar’s wife Maria. After the Czar died his son continued the tradition of having one made for his mother each year to present to her on Easter.

These different Faberge eggs held small tokens inside of them to enjoy such as a miniature castle or picture. Many of the early Faberge eggs featured diamonds, silver, and gold as part of their decoration. Even though these collectibles are very old the amount of detail each one offers is very amazing. Each one of the Faberge eggs has an original theme as well.

Due to the originality of each Faberge egg they are considered to be a timeless piece of Russian history. The fact that they were not to remain in the family they were made for over the years is very sad. However the location of them now allows everyone to view these remarkable works of art that no one has successfully been able to replicate.

Today the various Faberge eggs that brought so much delight to the Czar’s wife in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s are in various locations. Twenty one of them are in a display at the Russian Kremlin Armory Museum. The rest of them are scattered about in various museums and collections around the world.

There are eight Faberge eggs that have not been accounted for. They may be carefully hidden away to preserve their value, they may be collecting dust somewhere with no one knowing what they are, and others could have been broken and thrown away years ago. Anyone having any of these eight Faberge eggs may be very surprises to realize each one is worth millions of dollars if it is in good condition.
