These beautiful eggs are made of glass by highly skilled craftsmen. First a glass form is cast by blowing to get the desired shape. Then the egg is engraved by a diamond cutter. No other tools are used, and the pattern is engraved by hand, and for this reason, no two eggs are the same, each is unique (although an artist can make a series of eggs with the same design). On the coloured glass eggs the outline is then hand painted with gold to give better contrast and clarity. On the clear glass the etching is left plain. Artists use exactly the same technique as Karl Faberge and the same ornamentation and motifs that can be found on original Faberge eggs.
