About Marty Martin:

After decades touring fossil dinosaurs and Tutankhamun’s treasures, Marty Martin discovered a new passion: the legendary Fabergé eggs. Befriending skilled artisans from Russia, Estonia, and Ukraine, he helped assemble a stunning collection of 52 masterful replicas of the imperial Easter eggs. Each piece tells the story of the last Russian imperial family—their joys, sorrows, and the sweeping changes that led to revolution—offering a dazzling glimpse into history, luxury, and legacy.
