Biography[edit]
Sarah Fabergé is a great-granddaughter of Peter Carl Fabergé. Her late father, Theo, encouraged her interest in Fabergé. In 1994, after studies in silversmithing, she was invited to create, and approve, some designs for a company called the St. Petersburg Collection. In March 2004, Fabergé was invited to Saint Petersburg with her son Joshua. With an official reception at the Hermitage Museum, the Mariinsky Theatre, and a major event at the prestigious Hotel Astoria, it celebrated the opening of an art gallery dedicated to the work of Sarah and her father Theo. Sarah's creation 'Neva Egg' is on permanent display at the St Petersburg City Museum.
A keen supporter of the artisan and individual craftsmanship, Sarah is a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Turners, one of the oldest Livery Companies in the City of London. It supports the craft of turning on a lathe and aims to raise the profile of this unique art through its 'Wizardry in Wood' exhibitions and competitions.
In January 2007, Pallinghurst Resources announced that it had acquired Unilever's entire global portfolio of trademarks, licenses and associated rights relating to the Fabergé brand name.[1][2] Sarah resigned from the St Petersburg Collection in 2007 to work solely with the new owners of the Fabergé trademark.
Together with her cousin, the late Tatiana, also a great-granddaughter of Peter Carl Fabergé, she became a founder member of the Fabergé Heritage Council, created to advise the unified Fabergé in its pursuit of excellence and creativity. At 9 am on September 9, 2009, the Fabergé Company re-launched with the introduction of a High Jewellery collection. Egg pendants followed in 2011 during Paris Couture.
Today Sarah continues to work with Fabergé as Head of Fabergé’s Heritage Council, Director of Special Projects and Brand Ambassador.
In July 2023, it was announced that Sarah Fabergé will be Godmother of Regent Seven Seas Cruises' newest ship, Seven Seas Grandeur. Sarah will christen the ship at an exclusive gala event in Miami on 10 December 2023.[3]
