Question

The Fabergé Eggs
Fabergé eggs are shaped like an egg and made of precious metals and valuable jewels. Between the years 1885 and 1916, Russian jeweler Carl Fabergé created these extraordinary pieces for the ruler of Russia, who gifted them to his wife every year. Collectors find these works of art highly desirable and extremely expensive. The eggs can be opened and inside reveal miniature reproductions of items owned by the Russian royal family. Fabergé eggs are easily recognized because of their fine craftsmanship, intricate, and delicate designs. The first Fabergé creation was called the Hen Egg because it had a white shell, that opened to display a golden yolk that contained a tiny gold hen. The gold hen hid a tiny diamond crown, which has been missing for several years. Fabergé made over 50 unique eggs for the royal family, but some of these are lost. Malcolm Forbes, a famous businessman and philanthropist, owned one of the biggest private collections of Fabergé eggs. Recently, a dealer from the United States bought a gold egg from a rummage sale at a low price. The egg contained a watch. The dealer was jubilant when he discovered that the egg was, indeed, an original Fabergé. Many people and art societies are actively searching for the other missing eggs. They want to preserve these creations to showcase their beautiful craftsmanship for future generations.
