(The number in the title is just for the ease of identifying.)
Emu eggs have up to layers of color from the dark green outer shell to white. Depending on how deep I carve away the layers will show the different colors. This egg is really fun to work with and allows more intricate designs.
Each egg is custom created per order. If you need this by a certain date, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate you. Generally, it takes about a week (sometimes closer to two depending on my schedule) to carve, process and ship. But if you need it for a specific date, just let me know.
For something different, you can choose a cellophane color (free of charge). It adds a splash of color and a bit of sparkle inside your beautiful egg. (Not all designs have this option)
I also add Swarovski crystals to some designs (free of charge). Send me a quick note and let me know what color you'd like. (Not all designs have this option)
The egg is hand-carved with a very high speed drill and air compressor. I sketch the pattern and then carefully carve each shell. It is then bleached to remove any membrane inside to avoid discoloration over time. Then sprayed with a clear UV-protective lacquer to help strengthen and increase the durability of the egg. If you would like to hang the egg as an ornament or on a display stand, please indicate gold or silver bead cap. This buy is what allows you to hang it. Otherwise, the egg will sit on a complementary Lucite stand.
When storing, treat the egg like you would a glass ornament and it will be enjoyed for many years to come.
Ideas as a gift: Anniversary gift, unique wedding gift, a gift for mom, a housewarming gift for new home, a gift for the boss, a gift for the teacher, a gift for your child's bus driver, an Easter gift, a yankee swap item, a gift for first Christmas, a unique Holiday ornament.
Shipments are insured. Each egg is carefully packed in a special gift box. The gift box is then packed in a sturdy box with packing peanuts to ensure this piece of art arrives safely.
I ship internationally, but will have to determine the most cost effective way to send. I will update the shipping price depending on destination.
Like in nature, no two eggs are exactly the same. Stand and/or light is not included, for display purposes only.
