Biography

A great-granddaughter of Peter Carl Fabergé, she was the daughter of Theodore and Tatiana Fabergé née Cheremeteff, she was born in 1930 in Geneva, Switzerland. During the 1950s she studied jewellery design in Paris, where she was in close contact with her uncles Eugene and Alexander Fabergé, who gave her first hand information about the House of Fabergé. After her period of study she worked with her father, designing various precious objects that were crafted in Paris and Geneva. She has always been interested in the House of Fabergé and since she retired from CERN – the European Organization for Particle Physics Research - she has worked researching the family history and promoting its heritage.[1]

She is a granddaughter of Princess Elizabeth Bagration.
