Seven fabergé eggs
The House of Fabergé created 50 jewel-encrusted eggs for the Russian royal family from 1885 up until the revolution in 1917. They were lost during the Bolshevik revolution and all but seven are now on display in museums (one was found—by a Midwestern scrap metal dealer at a market). Valued at more than $1 million each, the missing eggs are one of the most expensive things ever stolen.
