A Fabergé egg is any one of sixty-nine eggs made by Peter Carl Fabergé and his assistants between 1885 and 1917.


Fifty Imperial Fabergé Easter eggs were made and presented by Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II of Russia[. A further two eggs were planned but not delivered, the Constellation and Karelian Birch eggs of 1917.


Seven of the eggs were made for the Kelch family of Moscow.


The eggs are made of precious metals or hard stones decorated with combinations of enamel and gem stones. The term "Fabergé Egg" has become a synonym of luxury and the eggs are regarded as masterpieces of the jeweler's art.
