The Faberge Egg was originally created for the Russian Imperial family. Tsar Alexander III started the tradition (as the story is told) by wanting to get something for his wife to celebrate their anniversary, which was close to the Easter holiday. He wanted a really nice egg, to be intricately decorated, and to have a surprise in the center. This started the tradition of the Faberge Egg, which the company (Faberge) had only created 50 in 32 years, and only the affluent could afford them.
