Introduction of Russian eggs
Faberge Eggs (Russian: яйцаабере; Faberge Pelican Egg): refers to the egg-shaped works made by Karl Gustavovich Faberge, a famous Russian jeweler. He and his assistant produced 69 works for tsars and private collectors from 1885 to 19 17. Among them, 54 were made for Tsar Alexander III and Nicholas II, 52 were Easter eggs, and only 50 were delivered to the Tsar. The remaining seven Faberge eggs were made for the Koelsch family in Moscow. For Russians, eggs symbolize health, beauty, strength and wealth. This is because eggs are related to Russian traditional religious customs, and they are necessary for some religious festivals, especially for Christians at Easter. People regard eggs as idols, protect God and keep them at home. Russians also welcome newborn babies with eggs. Russian jewelry has a long history. The first royal Easter egg was born on Easter in 1885. At that time, in order to comfort Queen Maria, who was married from Denmark, Tsar Alexander III specially made an exquisite egg for the Queen as an Easter gift from Faberge Craft Company of Royal Jewelry Design Company. Faberge used his intelligence to turn an ordinary egg into a gorgeous legend.
