Ornament of the Day: An Egg in the Style of Fabergé

It’s tradition in my family to put a new Christmas ornament at each place setting at Thanksgiving. For several years, we each received ornaments in the style of The House of Fabergé. Even Bertie would get one though his were miniature versions of the ones we each received.


I was given this beautiful French-inspired ornament three years ago. It’s a particular favorite of mine. With its rich French blue and crème colors, accented by alizarin crimson and emerald green, and its heraldic laurel wreath pattern, it reminds me of the Fabergé pieces collected by England’s Royal Family during the Nineteenth Century. Accented by rhinestone’s in just the right places, this egg is an elegant adornment each Christmas.
