This decorative, enameled, Imperial Jewelry Egg evokes the style of the Romanov masterpieces. The exquisite Imperial family eggs of Russia's past are far too rare and far too priceless for most of us to ever behold outside of a museum setting. Only you will know that yours is not the authentic piece! Round-cut crystals are inset among the ornate, hand-painted design and the entire egg rests elegantly on a crystal-studded stand. The hinged egg flips open for storage or display. Tucked inside our sets is a miniature Imperial Egg Pendant which dangles from a 24" gold-fused necklace. We've named our exquisite eggs after "Lara" from Dr. Zhivago and the "Empress Alexandra" and her daughters! (Click for details.)
Below we continue our Russian Romanov theme. We have a beautiful silver plated over copper bracelet! The bracelet is hand made and hand painted (Finift). Russian enamel uses a copper plate, known as a 'finift', as its base. Silver was often used to surround intricate enamel designs, complementing the delicate work with its expensive look. The length is 7.5 inches. It makes a wonderful gift for any occasion. The bracelet comes in a black luxury gift box.

Matryoshkas date from 1890. The story goes that Sergei Maliutin, a painter from a folk crafts workshop in the Abramtsevo estate of a famous Russian industrialist and patron of arts Savva Mamontov, saw a set of Japanese wooden dolls representing Shichi-fuku-jin, the Seven Gods of Fortune. Inspired, Maliutin drew a sketch of a Russian version of the toy. It was carved by Vasiliy Zvezdochkin in a toy workshop in Sergiyev Posad and painted by Sergei Maliutin. It consisted of eight dolls; the outermost was a girl in an apron, then the dolls alternated between boy and girl, with the innermost – a baby. In 1900, M.A. Mamontova, the wife of Savva Mamontov, presented the dolls at the World Exhibition in Paris and the toy earned a bronze medal. Soon, many other places in Russia started making matryoshki of various styles.
