From Times Wire Reports
Encrusted with more than 3,000 diamonds, the world’s most expensive Easter egg is being sold next month, and experts believe it might crack the $6-million mark.
The Winter Egg, produced by Carl Faberge and given by Russian Tsar Nicholas II to his mother on Easter 1913, will be sold April 19 at Christie’s New York auction house. It previously sold for $5.6 million in November 1994 at Christie’s Geneva.
The Winter Egg is made of finely carved, transparent rock crystal with engravings on the interior simulating ice crystals.
