Is This the Most Expensive Easter Egg Ever? Wow… Extravagant!

Just in time for Easter, the world’s most expensive egg owned by a mystery collector was unveiled. This incredible ornament was called the “Mirage”. It’s a unique gem that only the richest can afford. It’s too highly-priced you need to be a billionaire to shell it off.

The “Mirage” diamond egg has more than 1,000 diamonds on the outside ‘shell’ – worth £1.5million alone – 100 of which are a unique cut.

The diamond-covered egg unlocks and discloses an ornate globe hand-wrought in 18 karat gold.

The globe’s top shell then opens up to reveal a beautiful rock crystal dove settled on a gold olive branch.

The dove and the olive branch were meticulously hand-crafted in gold and were incorporated as a symbol of world peace.

The making of “Mirage”, carried out by the world’s elite craftsmen across three continents and headed by Manfred Wild, has taken three years to complete.

According to Vashi Dominguez, jeweller to the stars who has access to the private owner of this masterpiece, the egg’s mystery owner has no intentions of selling but if anyone can make a “multiple millions” offer, he sees a possibility.

“The owner has said he has no intention of selling the wondrous piece, but if someone really wants it I can see if we can come to an agreement.  The diamonds alone are worth more than £1.5 million while labor costs were around the same,” he says.

Priced at £5 million, “Mirage”  would cost the same as a posh London home or 30 times as a Ferrari 458 Italia. But Mr. Dominguez thinks the owner would want even more.

“The owner doesn’t need to sell Mirage, but it is all about one-upmanship in the world of the billionaire and money does talk. Owning this special item would be a great coup for someone to whom money is no object,” he adds.
