History: The most important feast in the Russian Orthodox Church is Easter. The Faberge eggs began in 1884 with an Easter egg made for Czar Alexander III that became a gift for his wife the Czarina Maria. The egg reminded the Empress of her homeland, and so, it was agreed that Faberge would make an Easter egg each year for Maria.

MILANESE JEWELLERY DESIGNERS

Milano. Vitti Ferria Contin has always been artistic and has always collected everything that caught her eye. While visiting a bead stall at the souk in Istanbul, a friend of hers suggested that she should makes jewellery. For fun, she took on the challenge and since then, hasn’t stopped making fun pieces with every type of material and object that she can find. She makes each piece herself; she is so prolific that her new showroom, which is entirely painted in silver, is already packed with the most eclectic pieces in every shape, style and size. Her aim is to help the less fortunate, since 2005, when she donated her bijoux to Airc, cancer research, at a charity benefit in Sardegna, she has never stopped supporting a worthy cause.

Note: this cascade of cultured pearls, little roses and gold metal leaves are Vitti’s best selling pair of earrings. They are very, very flattering to the face.
