6" Russian Tree Marble Faberge Display Jewelry for Sterling Silver Enamel Egg

Description: The tree shown in the photos has sold but your tree will look exactly like this one (except for a slightly different natural stone pattern) and will be just as beautiful. This is NOS (New Old Stock) meaning that I have owned it for some time but have never displayed or used it.RARE Vintage 5.75” Russian Imperial Egg Tree Marble Onyx Stone Base to Display Jewelry, Meant for Sterling Silver Enamel or Gemstone Egg Pendants, Made by Eggstravaganza. My eBay store has one other egg trees like this that also comes with 4 sterling silver eggs. The last three photos show other items that are available in my ebay store. These vintage solid stone-base Russian made egg pendant jewelry trees are so scarce, I have sold relatively few in 25 years of selling Russian egg jewelry on eBay. You are more likely to see one in a traveling Faberge museum exhibit than for sale.This jewelry tree was made in Russia and sold by Eggstravaganza. It is in very good condition with no damage. These trees may have one or more rough irregular sides on the base, but this one has four polished sides and corners. This tree was made circa 1990.It stands about 5.75 inches tall. It is roughly 5 inches across but if you were going to place this under glass or in an acrylic case to protect the jewelry from dust, you might want to go with a 6 inch diameter case to allow room for any eggs hanging on the perimeter of the tree.These gold-plated base-metal trees on stone bases are the traditional way to display and store a collection of Russian, Ukrainian, and Faberge-style egg pendants. Egg pendants are an important cultural tradition in Russia and Eastern Europe. They are as much décor as they are jewelry. They are meant to be seen and enjoyed.These beautiful egg trees are not easy to find outside of palace gift shops and museum stores in St. Petersburg. This is sad because they are little works of art all by themselves. The heavy base on these can be made from many different kinds of stone with Russian Onyx, Marble or Basalt Marble being common. The base shape can be oval, round, square, rectangular, irregular, or a combination of polished and irregular sides.I do not know for sure what kind of stone this base is made of, but it appears to be some kind of red-pink-peach marble or onyx. About the Eggs: I am listing a large collection of vintage and almost-new egg pendants and related jewelry items, most of them made from gilded sterling silver, but some made from solid 14k gold, gilded porcelain, crystal, genuine gemstones, and art glass. Most will be of the Russian Faberge style, but there will also be some beautiful examples from Italy and other egg-laying nations. The last photo shows you a sampling of the collection that is being sold, one egg at a time. Many of the finest egg pendants are not hallmarked. I have years of experience with fine jewelry and guarantee every statement made regarding precious metal. If an egg I sell you is not made of the stated materials, you are entitled to a full refund including your shipping, upon return. I have an all-sales-final policy to keep my prices low, but I stand behind the accuracy of my descriptions.The condition on all of the eggs is excellent pre-owned, unless otherwise stated. That means there is no damage. The enamel is intact, the bale is present, and all crystals and gems are present. Some eggs may have some natural toning (darkening of the silver over time) or minor wear (contact marks) from use around the bale. So please study the photos to be sure the condition is to your liking. Some of these hand-made pendants are rare types, shaped like other round objects like pumpkin, acorn, eggplant, and crown; and a few are statement pieces, very large and magnificent.Are you looking for the Egg Pendant Buying Guide? Since seller-written Buying Guides have been discontinued by eBay, I have expanded mine, added new photos, and moved them to Amaz*n and Kindl*. You can find them by typing the phrase "Buying Guide Russian Egg Pendants" in any Amaz*n search box. Below is a Table of Contents for this Buying Guide and info about the series. Collecting Russian Faberge-Style Sterling Silver, Vermeil, and Porcelain Egg Pendants was written to help the buyers of Russian egg pendants and lockets understand the background of this fascinating collecting field, to learn about some of the most popular types, and find resources for purchase, with photos throughout. Eggs are the symbol of renewal, new beginnings, and springtime. Jewelers skilled in the art of Russian egg making create these small masterpieces inspired by the jeweled eggs made by Peter Carl Fabergé for the family of the Tsar during the 19th century. Typically, pure gold is applied over sterling silver, the egg is hand-enameled, and then each sparkling crystal and/or gemstone is added by hand. Egg pendants made of gold, fine art glass, filigree vermeil silver, wood, and enameled metal called cloisonné are also right at home in any egg pendant collection, too. Some of the most beautiful glass eggs come from Italy, especially Venice and the Italian island of Murano. This series of booklets, Buying Guides for International Collectables, celebrates folk art and collectable items from around the world, including some that are not well-known but that are affordable and fascinating. Ceramics, wood carvings, semi-precious gemstones, embroidery, sculpture, and sterling silver figurines are just some of the areas explored. Let?s feast our eyes on the traditional arts and crafts of India, Mexico, Russia, Ghana, USA, Brazil, Japan, China, and many other nations.TABLE OF CONTENTS: From Russia with Skill, About the Faberge Name, How is Value Determined?

Glossary of Helpful Terms, The Gemstones, Wearing, Displaying, and the Egg Tree.Here is an excerpt from the Buying Guide:How is Value Determined? With Russian silver gilt egg pendants, value is determined by a combination of factors including size, condition, age, design, gems (if any), precious metal content, and most of all, craftsmanship. Skill and craftsmanship are key. Size is the most overlooked factor but is critical to value. Typically, the larger the egg pendant or locket, the more valuable because of the extra labor and materials needed. Four major sizes include:Petite: an egg pendant that is less than 3/4 inch (18mm) in length, excluding bale.Medium: An egg or locket that is 3/4th inch (18mm) to 1 inch (25mm) long, excluding bale.Large: an egg or locket that is 1 to 1 1/4 inches (31mm) in length or width, excluding bale.Extra Large: an egg or locket that is over 1 1/4 inches (31mm) in length or width, excluding bale.? End of excerpt.My Seller FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions): Allergy Note: All lots come from a smoke free and cat free home but pre-owned items may have originated in different conditions. About Discounted Shipping: USA shipping only. I am happy to discount shipping within 24 hours of the first purchase if you request a discounted invoice after your last auction concludes but BEFORE payment is sent. Large fragile items are not usually subject to this option because they often have to ship in separate boxes. I strive to ship items via the least expensive way possible to save you money, and I utilize eBay USPS shipping for just that reason, but tracking will always be included because it is an eBay requirement.Shipping and Return Policy: I can only ship to your official USA eBay address and I do not ship on Saturday or during dangerous weather conditions. If you pay for an item any time from Friday to Sunday, it will ship on Monday or Tuesday. If you pay for an item anytime between Monday and Thursday, it will ship on Friday. Please bear this in mind, as well as the post office transit time estimates, when looking at arrival dates.In over 25 years, my return policy has not changed. All sales are final - no returns or refunds unless there is a gross error in the description. Payment Reminder: If you are new around here, you need to know that eBay automatically cancels a transaction when payment fails to arrive within the required period. ABOUT FEEDBACK: My top priorities are answering email, writing accurate descriptions and fast shipping. Feedback is important but not my priority. I leave feedback only once or twice a month in large groups to save time.All eBay listing descriptions and photos are copyrighted. Do not copy without permission of seller.
