<div><p>Fabergé eggs are stunning jeweled eggs created by the House of Fabergé between 1885 and 1917. The most famous eggs were made for Russian Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II, who gave them as Easter gifts to their wives and mothers. </p><p>During the Russian Revolution, it is rumored that the final two Fabergé eggs were lost on their way to the royal palace in 1918. When the Romanov Dynasty was overthrown, all the members of the imperial family were executed and the Romanov Fabergé eggs went missing.</p><p>Although imitations can be made, historians know that only seven of the original Fabergé eggs remain hidden in the world, waiting to be discovered.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/0007028_690.jpeg"
