Exquisitely designed religious jewelry can become a cherished keepsake. A birthday present or wedding gift may be remembered for a lifetime if it is unique, well made and given thoughtfully. Many beautiful pieces with religious meanings or inspiration are crafted in the style of the Faberge eggs. Carl Faberge designed his Imperial egg collection as special Easter gifts from Tsar Alexander III to his Tsarina. He drew on historical artwork and religious themes while crafting the elegant designs. The egg shape itself is associated with creation and spring, with new life and fertility. Their intricate designs and vibrant colors make each egg a work of art. Specialty eggs make perfect gifts for all occasions and several designs draw on the religious traditions of the Russian Orthodox Church.
