"Through my extensive travels to Europe and Russia I have fallen in love with the vivid legacy of the Russian master goldsmiths and jewelers.

Strolling the magnificent halls of the royal palaces of St. Petersburg, I was inspired to create this exclusive edition for our very special family of collectors.

I'm thrilled to share with you the very first egg in our collection "The Portrait Egg".

It has been inspired by the exquisite Russian eggs and enameled picture frames commissioned from Peter Carl Faberge by Czar Nicholas II at the turn of the century.

No detail has been spared in this intricately crafted object d'art.The rich crimson guilloche enamel shell is embellished with golden swags suspended from crystal-set bows.

Centered on three sides of the egg are miniature picture frames to hold photographs of you cherished loved ones...just as Russian royalty did.

The Portrait Egg is a museum-quality piece.

May this egg surprise and delight you for years to come as they did for the royal families of long ago. Signed Joan Rivers.

Hand crafted in the United States.
