Fabergé is the world’s most iconic jewelry house and its name is synonymous with the legendary Fabergé Eggs. However it is not just about eggs, it also creates elegant pieces including jewelry, timepieces, and objets d'art. Sean Gilbertson, CEO of Fabergé, defines it as “labor of love.”
Founded in 1842, Fabergé has been the most respected name in jewelry ever since Peter Carl Fabergé became official goldsmith to the Russian imperial family.
Fabergé changed hands many times since 1951. A mining magnate Brian Gilbertson bought the brand in 2007 with an ambition to restore the name to its historic glory. He also announced the reunification of the brand with the Fabergé family, great-granddaughters of Peter Carl Fabergé. Fabergé today traces the legacy of excellence in creativity, design and craftsmanship.
Epoch Times spoke with CEO Sean Gilbertson, son of Brian Gilbertson at Baselworld, largest fine watch and jewelry show in the world. Gilbertson talked about the intriguing story of Fabergé, unique aspects of the brand, and his business philosophy.
