1900s Early Gorgeous Faberge Egg Pendants From Russia. Giving Eggs in spring was a pagan tradition adopted by early Christians. The old tradition was to give dyed chicken eggs and later it became chocolate eggs. The act of Egg giving is popular in Eastern Europe and this tradition indicated the birth of something new. As the Russian monarchy were Russian orthodox Christians, the Tsar wanted to surprise his wife with a jewelled Egg as a symbol of his love and affection. The gift pleased the Tsar’s family so much that his immediate circle, and the wider public, began the tradition of a Faberge from 1885 to 1917 until the revolution destroyed the Royalty.
