Swimming among the shells are entwined seahorses with sparkling ruby eyes. The seahorses are flanked by the enamel flowing sea flora, all among the festoons of cultured pearls representing the foaming, surging waves.
On opening the Egg, the surprise within - a nautilus shell flowing with a cornucopia of pearls, The entrance to the shell is guarded by the King of the Oceans, Neptune. Wearing his mystical cloak and with full regalia, he holds his trident in one hand and a roped miniature Egg in the other.
