Peter Carl Faberge was commissioned to create the first egg for the twentieth wedding anniversary of Alexander III and his wife Maria Feodorovna in 1885. Every subsequent Easter, another egg was made for Maria as a gift from her husband the tsar of Russia. After the passing of Alexander III, his son took up the tradition presenting his wife and his mother with their own custom Faberge egg every Easter. In all, 50 eggs were commissioned - to this day eight are still missing.
1900 'Trans-Siberian Railway' Faberge Egg made for Czar Nicholas to give to his wife, Alexandra Fyodorvna. The egg commemorates the construction of the Grand Siberian Railway. A map of Russia, engraved with the route of the Railway, is on the center silver section. The surprise in the egg is a working model of the train which was inserted into the egg section by section. The train was wound up with a golden key. This egg is one of ten eggs that was never sold and has remained in Russia at the Kremlin Armoury Museum (in Moscow.)

The Dowager Empress was born Danish princess Dagmar, daughter of King Christian IX. This egg was one of the largest Faberge ever made. The surprise inside is a double-sided miniature screen with portraits of both the Dowagers parents. The current whereabouts of this egg are unknown.
The 'Revolving Miniatures' Faberge Egg (aka the 'Rock Crystal' Egg) made in 1896 for Czar Nicholas II to give to his wife. The egg contains 12 miniatures that represent places of significance to the Tsarina. The two halves of the crystal are held together by a narrow gold band culminating at the top with a 27 carat Siberian emerald - the biggest gem used in the Imperial Easter Eggs. This egg was sold in 1930, bought by Lillian Pratt (wife of a GM executive) in 1945 and willed to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts upon her death.
