Vivian Alexander Easter Eggs Purse, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Easter is such a happy holiday, full of bright whites and pastels and of course all the new life and greenery that comes with the spring season. We covered Vivian Alexander's egg purses awhile back but I think they deserve a revisit -- especially because of this cheerful Easter Egg Purse that catches the whimsical side of the holiday. It features a pattern of multi-colored pastel eggs on a pearlized white background with 18k gold trim, feet, and chain. There's also this darling Easter Parade Pink Mini Purse -- a perfect gift for a daughter or niece.

Made from real eggshells that are enameled and decorated with precious metals and gemstones, $475.

Carved and Sculpted Eggs

Filed under: Decor

Carved Dragon Ostrich Egg: $500Forgo those cheap plastic eggs that seem to be overflowing supermarket shelves in the weeks before Easter and satisfy your craving for the seasonal egg-shapes with something that will last. Real eggs of various sizes can be carved and sculpted into a variety of surprising shapes and astonishingly beautiful patterns. Ron Cheruka, the "Egg Man", has been doing egg art for many years and uses modified dental tools with carbide and diamond bits to hand cut every egg that he makes. He uses ostrich, rhea, emu and standard eggs in his work. The emu eggs are visually stunning due to the natural pigments in the shells, which range from teal to black, but the nearly cantaloupe-sized ostrich eggs are the most spectacular. Their thick shells allow for the most detailed carvings, like the dragon pictured here, and the finished egg resembles polished ivory. Dragon Egg Price: $500.
