Pattern description
This 152 x 152 stitch pattern captures an intricately decorated Fabergé egg rendered in warm, rich tones of cream, coral, and gold. The design features elaborate dimensional detailing with ornamental bands, jeweled accents, and a delicate seed-pearl effect across the upper dome, creating a luxurious heirloom quality perfect for advanced stitchers seeking a challenging counted cross-stitch project.
The 30 DMC thread color palette blends soft peachy tones with deeper russet accents, establishing an elegant warmth that distinguishes this interpretation from cooler variants. Subtle color gradations throughout the band work and ornamental details require careful attention to thread selection and placement, making this an ideal piece for experienced needleworkers who appreciate nuanced shading techniques.

Once finished on 14-count Aida fabric, this square design makes an exceptional decorative treasure—suitable as a framed focal point or keepsake box topper. The downloadable DMC chart provides a clear roadmap for executing the intricate details, ensuring successful completion of this museum-worthy needlework project.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
