Hello divas! This week we're diving into one of my biggest Roman Empires... the Fabergé Eggs!
From a tiny jewellery workshop in St Petersburg to the glittering halls of the Romanovs, this episode follows Peter Carl Fabergé's rise to become Imperial Jeweller and the creator of the most famous Easter gifts in history. We’ll also chat Tsars, Tsarinas, impeccable craftsmanship and of course, the very first Imperial Egg.
This is also the perfect little warm-up for our four-part Romanov series coming this September, which I cannot wait to share with you all.
Also as promised, here’s the Substack of my experience seeing an actual, real life Fabergé Egg with my own eyes at Christie’s last year (an experience I genuinely don’t think I’ll ever get over!).
Shout out to our incredible researcher Grace McCamish for helping to pull this together, and if you're wanting more Hot History you can follow along on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube and of course, right here!
Til next week, Ainslie x
