Edwardian 15ct Gold Egg Pendant

552T
160 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual 15ct gold egg that has been designed with small circular holes all around it. The Russian Easter egg tradition dates back to pre-Christian times when people saw eggs as fertility symbols and as symbols of protection. Eggs represented renewal or new life. When Russian Orthodoxy was adopted, eggs took on Christian symbolism. This little egg can be worn on a chain with other eggs interspersed.
