The Diamond Trellis Egg is a jewelled enameled Easter egg made by August Holmström under the supervision of the Russian jeweller Peter Carl Fabergé in 1892. It is one of the Imperial Fabergé eggs, made for Alexander III of Russia, who presented it to his wife, the Empress Maria Feodorovna. The egg is owned by an American couple, Artie and Dorothy McFerrin, and is on display at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The egg cost 4,750 silver roubles, and contained an automaton of an ivory elephant covered with precious stones.〔 The surprise, thought missing for many years, has now been found in the collection of the British Royal Family..〔 ==History== The egg is made of jadeite, gold, rose-cut diamonds, and is lined with white satin. It is carved from pale green jadeite and is enclosed in a lattice of rose-cut diamonds with gold mounts. The egg is hinged, and a large diamond sits at its base.〔 Originally it was supported on a base of three silver putti said to represent the three sons of the imperial couple, the Grand Dukes Nicholas, George and Michael.〔 The putti were set on a jadeite base.〔
