Vivian Alexander Easter Eggs Purse, Handbag of the Day

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.

Temple St. Clair Crystal Egg Pendant

Temple St. Clair's stunning craftsmanship is shown off in this elegant and simple pendant necklace. The Crystal Egg Pendant features a translucent, polished crystal egg that is suspended in a cage of four, 18-karat gold bands. Each of the bands is further embellished with .22-karat brilliant-cut diamonds, centered on each of the bands, which set off the sparkling crystal egg. The not-too-large 1.8-cm length allows the pendant to fit both long and short chains equally well. Price: $2,300.

Diamond Stella Egg

Chocolate, diamonds and it's not even from Tokyo. The  £50 000 ($87,025) diamond-encrusted Easter egg (shown being touched up by Christophe Lambert in this AP photo) is being shown off in London at La Maison du Chocolat. The Diamond Stella Egg is over in 100 half-carat diamonds and is around two feet tall. The chocolate egg came from Paris and once in London a chef melted small parts of the egg in order to attach the diamonds. The inside of the egg includes peach and apricot chocolate and pralines.

Lux List: Favorite Egg-cellent Items

Designers love eggs. Eggs have beautiful, clean lines and a great shape. The egg shape is perfectly symmetrical when cut vertically, but has a soft slope that draws the eye along its curves when viewed as a whole. Egg shapes can and do appear just about anywhere anwhere, in both small and large sizes. We've noticed this, as egg-shapes have come up repeatedly on Luxist, but we still have our favorites. Let's face it: some egg designs work better than others.  These are some of the good ones:

Vivian Alexander Egg Purses - These novel purses are made out of real Rhea egg shells. They are enameled and decorated to perfection by hand with a variety of precious and semi-precious stones.

World's Most Expensive Bunny

Harrod's is showcasing the world's most expensive bunny. The bunny is made to look like the iconic Lindt chocolate bunnies, which are traditionally wrapped in gold foil and sold around the Easter holiday. Though the critter matches the 200-gram chocolate double in size, the Harrod's bunny is inedible, made not of chocolate but of 24-karat gold. It is inlaid with diamonds, rubies, citrine and topaz, and is valued in excess of £20,000, or approximately $35,000.

On display until April 16th, you can bid on the bunny by visiting it in the Candy Room at the Harrod's Knightsbridge store. All proceeds will be given to the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity. Alternatively, you can buy yourself an edible Lindt chocolate bunny, sold in a set of three for $10.99.

Carved and Sculpted Eggs

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.
