This piece combines three worlds in one object: the silver chalice with its intricate niello hand-engraving and gilding, the natural stone with its deep green color, and the golden cross as a symbol of faith. When closed, it looks like a small cathedral — the domed lid with leaf niello and a diamond pattern, topped with a green stone as a finial. When opened, the chalice reveals its secret: the egg rests in the gilded cup, the cross points upwards, and the green stones on the stem and base, together with the egg, form a harmonious color family. 125.6 mm high, approx. 86 g — a devotional set that unites faith, stone, and silver.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg, #f8f6f0 0%, #fff 100%); border: 1px solid #e8e0d0; padding: 20px 24px; margin: 24px 0; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size: 1.05em; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e925 Silver Souvenir Eggs — each a unique surprise\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003eNatural stone egg, shot glass, miniature vase with gemstones.

The surface of the stone has a natural grain that is unique to each egg. A golden Orthodox cross sits on the stone — intricately crafted, with small green stones at its ends. The cross transforms the natural stone from a mineral into a devotional piece: an egg you can hold in your hand to feel the cross between your fingers, to hold the cool stone against your skin.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe stone egg is not merely decoration — it is the actual gift. The silver chalice is its throne, the domed lid its protection. Together, they form a set that ties into the tradition of Russian Easter eggs: a precious egg, hidden in an artistic container. Only here, enamel and mechanics don't play the main role, but rather stone and silver.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Chalice — Niello Ornamentation on Every Surface\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe silver chalice holding the egg is itself a work of art. The cup (the body of the chalice) features two ornamental zones: a wide band at the top with dense leaf niello in black and gold, below which is a diamond pattern with gilded fields. The stem is slender and adorned with gilded blossoms featuring green cabochon stones — subtle accents that echo the color of the natural stone egg. At the base, the niello ornament is repeated in a unique variation, and golden bands frame every transition.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe domed lid is a mirror image of the cup: the same leaf niello, the same diamond pattern, topped with a round finial with a green stone. When the lid is in place, the chalice and lid merge into a single unit — the ornamentation flows seamlessly from the foot over the stem to the cup to the lid. No break, no interruption. A cohesive piece that appears to be cast from a single mold.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Materials — One Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nWhat sets this piece apart from the other souvenir eggs in the collection: it brings together three materials rarely united in one object. The 925 sterling silver with niello hand-engraving — that is the language of SevChern, the signature from Veliky Ustyug. The gilding that gives warmth to the silver. And the green natural stone that brings a whole different world: the world of minerals, of the earth, of what has grown. Silver is cast and engraved, gold is applied — but the stone has grown, millions of years old. You feel this age when you hold the egg in your hand.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor what occasions this set is suitable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEaster:\u003c\/strong\u003e A stone egg with a cross in a silver chalice — the most noble form of an Easter gift.
