About the Eggs: In coming weeks, I will be listing a large collection of over120 antique, vintage and almost-new egg pendants and related jewelry items,most of them made from gilded sterling silver, but some made from solid 14kgold, gilded porcelain, crystal, genuine gemstones, and art glass. Most will beof the Russian Faberge style, but there will also be some beautiful examples from Italyand other egg-laying nations. The last photo shows you a sampling of thecollection that is being sold, one egg at a time.

Many of the finest egg pendants are not hallmarked. I haveyears of experience with fine jewelry and guarantee every statement maderegarding precious metal. If an egg I sell you is not made of the statedmaterials, you are entitled to a full refund including yourshipping, upon return. I have an all-sales-final policy to keep my prices low, but I standbehind the accuracy of my descriptions.

The condition on all of the eggs is excellent pre-owned,unless otherwise stated. That means there is no damage. The enamel is intact, thebale is present, and all crystals and gems are present. Each pendant comes witha new square or rectangular gift box.

Some eggs may have some natural toning (darkening of thesilver over time) or minor wear (contact marks) from use around the bale. Soplease study the photos to be sure the condition is to your liking.

Some of these hand-made pendants are rare types, shaped likeother round objects like pumpkin, acorn, eggplant, and crown; and a few are statementpieces, very large and magnificent.

Starting offers and Buy-It-Now prices will be as much as 80%less than their original price when new. Please re-visit my store to see theentire collection as it is listed.

These amazing little silver masterpieces are so much fun tocollect. You can learn more about them by reading my 5 page Egg Pendant BuyingGuide:

Here is an excerpt from the Buying Guide:

“How is Value Determined?
With Russian silver gilt egg pendants, value is determined by a combination offactors including size, condition, age, design, gems (if any), precious metalcontent, and most of all, craftsmanship. Skill and craftsmanship are key. Sizeis the most overlooked factor but is critical to value. Typically, the largerthe egg pendant or locket, the more valuable because of the extra labor andmaterials needed.
Four major sizes include:

Petite: an egg pendant that is less than 3/4 inch (18mm) in length, excluding bale.
Medium: An egg or locket that is 3/4th inch (18mm) to 1 inch (25mm) long, excluding bale.
Large: an egg or locket that is 1 to 1 1/4 inches (31mm) in length or width, excluding bale.
Extra Large: an egg or locket that is over 1 1/4 inches (31mm) in length or width, excluding bale.” End of excerpt.
