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!
