Six Imperial Fabergé eggs were lost to history. This project is dedicated to their return.

Between 1885 and 1916, Carl Fabergé and his workshops created fifty-two Imperial Easter eggs for the Russian court — among the most technically and artistically complex objects ever produced in the history of jewellery. Each egg was a miniature world: goldsmithing, translucent enamel, precision mechanics, and concealed surprises that no photograph has ever fully captured. After the revolution of 1917, the collection was dispersed across Europe and the Americas. Six eggs remain lost to this day, known only through archival descriptions and the accounts of those who once held them.

The Fabergé Heritage Project is a long-term initiative to produce museum-grade digital reconstructions of the Imperial collection — beginning with the surviving eggs and extending to the six that have never been seen again. Every reconstruction begins in the archive: period inventories, workshop photographs, scholarly publications, and technical analysis of surviving comparable objects. The digital model records not the external appearance, but the structure, proportions, materials, and logic of fabrication. This is not interpretation. It is restoration of what the historical record allows us to know.
