Pre Revolution Russian Silver Egg Pendant

549T
240 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

This small Russian silver egg was made circa 1910 and is a lovely design. 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.
