jeweled eggs

Gem-encrusted decorative ovals

Jeweled eggs are decorative eggs adorned with precious stones, metals, and enamel work.

The term most often refers to the elaborate Fabergé eggs created for Russian royalty in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which contained hidden surprises and became symbols of extravagant craftsmanship.

More broadly, any ornamental egg encrusted with gems or designed as a luxury object: The museum displayed a collection of jeweled eggs.
