Fabergé vs Tiffany: The 50 Jeweled Eggs That Vanished in a Revolution

← All debates · Talk to Caleb

FABERGÉ vs TIFFANY go head to head — and every jab is rooted in real history.

FABERGÉ

I made fifty Imperial eggs, each a secret world of gold and enamel opened by an emperor's own hand.

TIFFANY

And yet your empire shattered with your patrons; I brought beauty to Fifth Avenue mansions and church windows alike, not just crowned heads.

FABERGÉ

Your lamps glow for the newly rich, Louis, while mine were craft so fine the Revolution seized every one and scattered them to auction.

TIFFANY

Better scattered and admired than sealed in a palace vault, Peter, for light shared through glass outlives any locked-up egg.
