Know before you buy
The egg features a hollow interior designed for small, lightweight items. It is ideal for storing rings, small earrings, or other tiny keepsakes.
The egg is designed as a decorative display piece with a hinged opening. While it closes securely, it is not intended to be a locking container or a heavy-duty jewelry box.
To keep the finish looking its best, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the enamel and dull the crystals.
Yes, the egg is balanced to sit firmly on its tripod legs. Because it is cast in solid pewter and weighs one pound, it provides a sturdy base for display on flat surfaces like mantels, desks, or shelves.
The lost wax method is a traditional casting technique where a metal object is created from a wax model. This process allows for the intricate detailing and fine textures seen on the pewter exterior of the egg.
