Brand profile

Fabergé is a jewelry brand founded in St. Petersburg, Russia, founded by Gustav Faberge in 1842 and managed by his son Peter Carl Faberge. Fabergé mainly processes precious metals and gem materials such as goldsilvermalachitejadelapis lazuli, and many of his works are in the style of louis XVI in France, and in his early years he created a series of jeweled Easter eggs for the Russian tsar, which was famous.

After the Russian Revolution, Fabergé was taken over to the Bolsheviks and resold several times since then, and Fabergé's sales expanded from jewelry to clothing, perfumes, hair care products and other fields.


Brand history

The Faberge family originated in 17th-century France, with the original surname Favri. Born in 1814, Gustav Faberge moved to St. Petersburg, Russia, at the age of 16 to become a goldsmith. In 1842, Gustav Faberge opened a jewelry store in the basement of Bolshaya Morskaya Street in St. Petersburg, Fabergé, a brand accented to reflect the distinctly French style and luxury.

Peter Carl Faberge, the heir to the family business, was involved in jewelry design and production at a very young age and studied in Germany, Italy, France and England. In 1882, Fabergé participated in the PanRussian Exhibition in Moscow, where a replica of the gold bracelets of the Scythian Treasure series was appreciated by the Russian Tsar, and Peter Carl Faberge became a royal goldsmith and jeweler. In 1885, Peter Carl Faberge was commissioned to make an Imperial Easter egg for Empress Maria Feodorovna, which was unveiled at the Queen's coronation in 1896 and later became Fabergé's most iconic piece of jewelry.
