Easter Eggs and Much More

The house of Fabergé story began in 1882, when Peter Carl Fabergé took over his father's jewelers and, together with his brother, changed the face of the business, quickly turning it into an international phenomenon. Year after year, the range was added to with jewels and luxury items, such as the renowned Fabergé eggs. True works of art hand crafted by highly skilled artisans, the Eggs are now housed the most important museums and in the main private collections in the world, along with a large part of the imperial repertoire.
 
1885 was a landmark year for the company, when Tsar Alexander III commissioned the jewelers to create an Easter egg for the Empress. The same thing happened the following year. From 1887 onwards, house of Fabergé was given full freedom to create the future imperial Easter eggs on just one condition: each egg had to contain a surprise. From that moment on, it became customary to commission and donate Fabergé Eggs to aristocratic ladies. The jewelers became international and Fabergé Eggs became famous and much appreciated all over the world.
 
Fabergé, despite being known by many for its precious eggs, started out as a jewelers and, still today, creates fine artisan jewelry. When Peter Carl Fabergé took over the business, he revolutionized production to fully express the 18th century French style which favored the use of colored precious stones. Fabergé jewels became irresistible and highly sought after.
