Pierre-Karl Fabergé (on his tombstone it is written Charles Fabergé), born May 18, 1846 in Saint Petersburg in Russia, and died September 24, 1920 in Pully in Switzerland, is a Russian jeweler of German-Danish origin better known as Karl Fabergé. He is known for his Fabergé eggs, pieces of jewelry shaped like eggs and containing a surprise like Easter eggs, made from metals and precious stones. Igor Carl Agathonovich Fabergé is a “Haute Couture” designer and jeweler born in Levashovo, near Saint Petersburg, in 1907. He fled Russia with his mother (Lydia Treuberg, first wife of Agathon Carlovich Fabergé) and his brothers in crossing the frozen Gulf of Finland in December 1918. The whole family went to Switzerland where Igor Carl became a talented embroiderer, creating very original evening dresses. He also created jewelry and fantastic objects. Many of them now belong to the Foundation's permanent collection. Others are in private collections. Igor Carl Fabergé was contacted by the Franklin Mint company which wanted to produce small objects. He made the designs and the items were then sold under his signature. He then founded his own company in Switzerland which produced around fifty objects in five years. Having no descendants, he decided to create a foundation which would bear his name and which would receive his shares and certificates after his death. The brand was taken over by McGregor who was keen to increase his rights to “Fabergé-Parfums” by also registering the brand for the jewelry activities. He died in Geneva in 1982. He rests in Cannes with Carl Fabergé and Augusta Fabergé.
