This is a limited edition, egg House of Fabergé Imperial egg Limited luxury edition The Fabergé family originated in France but was forced to leave the country due to religious persecution. During the 18th century, the family settled in Russia. Peter Carl Fabergé was born on May 30, 1846, the son of a goldsmith. After apprenticing with several master goldsmiths in Germany, France and England, Peter Carl Fabergé returned to St. Petersburg a highly accomplished craftsman. In 1885, Peter Carl Faberge presented the first Imperial Egg to Czar Alexander III and soon became the most famous jeweler in the world. Investing in Faberge is as good a idea as the investments in gold bullion or even the investment in art by great artists such as Warhol, Egon Schiele, Chillida, Roy Lichtenstein Basquiat or Banksy. Their connection to James Bond 007 is limited to being a key plot element in the 1983 film Octopussy, where an egg serves as a clue in an international smuggling ring. #exclusiveselection
