The Swan Egg (1906), a gift from Tzar Nicholas II to his mother. Made of opaque mauve enamel with a crystal encrusted trellis design, the egg contains a miniature gold and silver swan swimming on a lake of aquamarine. Imperial Faberge Eggs got their name due to the fact that they were made for Alexander III and Nicholas II of Russia. The reverse image is embellished with two colored Swarovski crystals to fully express the finesse and magnificence of the original Swan Egg.
