Learn More about Faberge:

Peter Karl Faberge was a Russian jeweller of German, Danish and French origin. He was best known for the famous Faberge eggs, using precious metals and gemstones. The Faberge egg became a symbol of luxury, and the eggs are regarded as masterpieces of the jeweler's art. Although the House of Faberge is famed for its Imperial Easter eggs, it made many more objects ranging from silver tableware to fine jewelry. In 1900, Faberge’s work represented Russia at the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris.
