WIKIPEDIA: Peter Carl Faberge, also known as Karl Gustavovich Faberge was a Russian jeweller best known for the famous Faberge eggs made in the style of genuine Easter eggs, but using precious metals and gemstones rather than more mundane materials. He's the founder of the famous jewelry legacy House of Faberge.The House of Faberge is a jewellery firm founded in 1842 in St. Petersburg, Imperial Russia, by Gustav Faberge, using the accented name Faberge. Gustav's sons Peter Carl Faberge and Agathon Faberge Sr. and grandsons followed him in running the business until it was nationalised by the Bolsheviks in 1918. The firm was famous for designing elaborate jewel-encrusted Faberge eggs for the Russian Tsars and a range of other work of high quality and intricate detail. In 1924, Peter Carl's sons Alexander Faberge and Eugene Faberge opened Faberge & Cie in Paris, making similar jewellery items and adding the name of the city to their rival firm's trademark, styling it FABERGE, PARIS. In 1937, the rights to the Faberge brand name were sold to Samuel Rubin for the marketing of perfume. It was then re-sold in 1964 to cosmetics company Rayette Inc., which changed its name to Rayette-Faberge Inc.
