The 1917 Constellation egg is one of a series of fifty Russian jeweled Easter eggs and was made by Russian Jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé in 1917 for Tsar Nicholas II as an Easter gift for the Tsar's wife, Tsaritsa Alexandra Fyodorovna. Unfortunately, Due to the Russian Revolution of 1917 , the egg was never finished or presented to the Tsaritsa.
Craftsmanship
The 1917 Constellation egg is made of blue glass and is studded with diamonds. The egg rests on a base made of quartz. The egg was supposed to have a silver rim around it, but lacks the original rim, since the egg was never actually finished. The Constellation egg is the last Fabergè egg ever made for the Tzar.
