Product Description THIS IS AN IMPRESSIVELY BEAUTIFUL FABERGE STYLE PENDANT WITH FROG IS MADE OF GREEN GUILLOCHE ENAMEL, STERLING SILVER WITH 22K GOLD OVERLAY AND AUSTRIAN CRYSTALS AND GENUINE GARNETS. IT WAS CRAFTED BY RUSSIAN JEWELERS THROUGH ELABORATE AND LABORIOUS EFFORTS.
Probably the 150 are correct and the 2.5 Billions are the error.

wah, "million", of course ;-)

There's a review: "While the wrapper is artfully done, I was disappointed with the filling. I don't know if the one I got was a factory defect or not, but once I had removed the elaborate wrapper, I found it was empty, without even the smell of chocolate. After this, I'll stick with Cadbury eggs, but my experience may not be representative of the normal presentation. I've given the product 4 stars because of the wrapper, though, while difficult to tear off, it was certainly stunning."

Reminds me of BBSpot.com's BBloopers - it's all website flubs and very, very unfortunate ad banner placements. :-)

@Richard: Laughing my a** off. Here we have Ü-Ei (surprise eggs), which have the valuable elements inside (pure plastic, no gold, but still very hot items, so there are even fairs where you can buy these plastic items as collectors items). Wonder, what my kids would say about Fabergé.
