The Lilies of the Valley Egg is a jeweled Fabergé egg made under the supervision of the Russian jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé in 1898. Enamel and decorative stones were used to create the Egg. It is also decorated with Swarovski crystals. The Lilies of the Valley Egg is one of the fifty-two Imperial Easter eggs made by Fabergé for the Russian Imperial Family. It was made as an Easter gift to the last Russian Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna, the wife of Nicholas II. The egg is one of the two eggs in the Art Nouveau style. It is covered in pearls and topped with enamel on a guilloché field, and is supported by cabriolet legs of green-gold leaves with rose-cut diamond dewdrops. The gold-stemmed lilies have green enameled leaves and flowers made of gold and set with rubies, pearls, and diamonds.
