A huge hand-painted Easter egg is displayed in Zagreb’s main square in Croatia (Republic of Croatia is small country in Central Europe).

This year, to celebrate Easter, Spanish artisan chocolatier Enric Rovira has created a limited edition range of luxurious eggs for Harvey Nichols.

The exclusive range features three designs: the Fibrós, Brillant and Quadrat. Only 200 eggs will be made, one of which will contain a special Golden Ticket.

The Golden Ticket will entitle the lucky winner to be flown over to Barcelona to visit the Enric Rovira workshop, followed by a meal at a top restaurant and an overnight stay in the heart of the city.

Department store Selfridges is encouraging shoppers to buy their extremely expensive £1,000 ($1,500) Easter eggs in the hope they will gain value.

How? Because each of these exorbitantly priced eggs will contain a gold coin which the store considers to be of good investment value.

A Selfridges spokesman said: “According to the financial institution Swiss bank UBS, demand for gold will double this year compared to 2007”

The Blue Serpent Clock Egg is a jewelled Easter egg made under the supervision of the Russian jeweller Peter Carl Fabergé in 1887, for the then Czar of Russia, Alexander III, who presented the egg to his wife, the Czarina Maria Feodorovna. It now belongs to the Princess Grace of Monaco’s collection, currently owned by Prince Albert II.

The Serpent Clock Egg costed 2,160 rubles to the Czar. The serpent winds around the pedestal of the egg and serves as the clock’s hand. The head and tongue point to the hour. The time can be read on the upper eggshell, which has a rotating clock face. The egg is similar to the “Duchess of Marlborough Egg” (ca. 1902) which is interesting because Faberge had a rule of not repeating a design.

This beautiful Faberge creation, which has not left Monaco in over 30 years, was unveiled yesterday at the Consulate General of Monaco in New York City. The Egg will be traveling to Cleveland, Ohio, where it will be on display with six other Faberge wonders in the Artistic Luxury exhibition at the Cleveland Museum of Art through January 2009.

Peter Carl Faberge and his workshop made incredibly intricate Easter eggs for the Russian Imperial Court between 1885 and 1917.

These rare and unique creations had the cover of enameled gold and gem stones, which would open to reveal hidden wonders - sometimes golden yolk, sometimes a delicately sculpted figure, all nestled in many levels like a traditional Russian matryoshka doll.

As only fitting for Easter Eggs, each one contained a surprise!

As a kid, I used to leave the Easter Bunny a few carrots, just to make sure I got some good chocolates. Now that I’m an adult, what do I have to do to make sure I get some Armani Easter Eggs this year?

“Embossed with the unmistakable ‘A’ and delivered in a sky blue box dressed with a ribbon, these chocolate eggs are not for the children to hunt down in the yard, but for a special someone who deserves some sweetness this spring,” Luxist describes.

The epitome of good taste, in every sense, these golden eggs are just a matter of deciding whether or not to get one, just a question of how to accessorize. They look so good, I may just have to buy one for myself.

You don’t have to wait for Easter to pick one up, and you’ll probably miss out if you do. They hit Armani stores in mid-February.
