The Ducallier Studios
These are examples of Ducallier replicas using the egg matrix that takes months to build.
Many times while carving out the egg shape on these gemstones - they can shatter into smaller sizes -
the size of hens eggs (2 inch) and, never-the-less, we will build smaller Ducalliers, on special request,
or use them for the "Surprise" that is traditional with Imperial style Presentation eggs.
A commissioned Ducallier gemstone matrix is usually ten (10") to thirteen (13") inches
tall as are those Ducallier made of precious metals - silver, platinum or gold.
We can smelt the gold to various colours, green gold, red gold, and a wide
array of other colours.
Since we work mostly with goose - 4 inch or ostrich eggs from 7 to 13
inches, our precious metal and semi-precious gemstone matrix are of the same
measure.
Our artisans build these museum quality Ducalliers using precious and
semi-precious gems such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, alexanderite,
and natural matched pearls, with 22 to 24 carat gold, or platinum or silver
embellishments which then is mounted on a beautiful base, some with music boxes,
ready for you or a loved one or friend to enjoy.
Elegant Egg artistry - We build and replicate museum quality objet d'art providing collectors the means to acquire Ducallier one-of-a-kind collectibles at reasonable prices and here the magic of Ducallier artisans and
craftsmen appears.
