Inspired by the celebrated 1899 Twelve Panel egg commissioned by Alexander Kelch for his wife, Barbara Kelch-Bazanova, this elegant design reflects the refined craftsmanship of late 19th century jeweled Easter creations. The Kelch series consisted of seven extraordinary eggs created for a private patron, each showcasing intricate artistry and distinctive architectural structure.

The historic Twelve Panel example, crafted in the workshop of master workman Michael Perchin, featured royal blue champlevé enamel divided into twelve sections by diamond-set bands, accented with red-gold scrollwork and commemorative details. Echoing that distinguished tradition, this richly enameled interpretation showcases segmented panels, gold-tone ornamentation, and crystal accents that capture the symmetry and elegance of the original design. Resting on an ornate stand and opening to reveal a keepsake compartment, it embodies the timeless grandeur associated with the golden age of jeweled decorative arts.
