Egg the Blossoming apple-tree, is made of the cut-out nephrite which forms surprisingly thin polished body of egg. It costs on four cut-out gold feet molded as bent branches of an apple-tree. These branches, are executed in red and green gold, have gold leaves and flowers, with pink diamonds in the center. Egg was developed as a casket for jewelry; the surprise is lost.
