OTHER INFORMATION

The eggs are little trinket boxes that open up, they are made from pewter with an enamel finish

They were designed by Rob Simpson for an entirely different range and they were never intended as pieces of Enchantica! they were designed to have a matching pendant inside but this proved too costly and we just got the eggs.

I'll be totally honest here and say that I hate them as Enchantica pieces, they would have been fine under a different banner as Rob thought they would be, but to label them as Enchantica just so they have a known name to them to help them sell is a disgrace to the Enchantica legend! I just hope that mistakes have been learnt and they never release anything like this again using the Enchantica name because they just don't fit in with the range and stories at all.

Please don't blame Rob because he never wanted or designed them as Enchantica either and as you can see from the artwork, the concept is a very good one but poorly executed after the art left his hands.

Please note that the above opinion is my own personal one! As a separate range they are nice and the have a good quality feel to them when held and the magnet closure is nice too, they just aren't Enchantica!
