Biography

Fabergé was born in 1930 in Versoix, Geneva, Switzerland. Her parents were Fedor Fabergé (a son of Agathon Carl Theodor Fabergé) and Tatiana Borisovna Sheremeteva-Fabergé (the daughter of Boris Sergeevich Sheremetev and Princess Elisabed Aleksandres Asuli Bagration of Mukhrani). During the 1950s she studied jewellery design in Paris, where she was in contact with her uncles Eugene Fabergé and Alexander Fabergé.[4] The Fabergé brothers had a store in Paris called Fabergé & Cie.

Tatiana Fabergé joined CERN—the European Organization for Particle Physics Research—as a secretary when the CERN Theory Group was moved from Copenhagen to Geneva. She retired from CERN in 1995.[5]

Fabergé was always interested in the House of Fabergé. After retirement she worked researching the family history and promoting its heritage.

In 1974 she launched her own jewelry and product line Tatiana Fabergé which is marketed through her own web site.[6] During her career she created several products under different trademarks, in 2005 Fabergé Ltd purchased from the Tatiana Fabergé SA one of the trademarks, Tatiana Fabergé SA then continued developing products under the Tsars Collection trademark.

Since 2007 she was actively involved in giving advice and guidance via the Fabergé Heritage Council, a division of Fabergé Ltd, regarding the relaunch of the brand. She worked closely with the creative team and advised on heritage matters.
