Description:

The "Pansy Egg," or "Jade Egg," is made of jade and diamonds. It rests on gold carved leaves with five enameled purple pansy buds. Inside, a pearl-decorated gold heart features eleven strawberry-shaped medallions connected by an "M" monogram. These open to reveal portraits of the imperial family. The heart is topped by a floral wreath encircling the Star of Bethlehem and the year 1899.
