House of Fabergé
The House of Fabergé (Russian: Дом Фаберже) is a jewellery firm founded in 1842 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, by Gustav Faberge, using the accented name "Fabergé".
Gustav's sons, Peter Carl and Agathon, 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 Fabergé eggs for the Russian Tsars, and for a range of other work of high quality and intricate detail.
In 1924, Peter Carl's sons Alexander and Eugène Fabergé opened Fabergé & Cie in Paris, making similar jewellery items and adding the name of the city to their rival firm's trademark, styling it "FABERGÉ, PARIS".
In 1937, the rights to the Fabergé brand name were sold to Samuel Rubin for the marketing of perfume.
The brand name was then resold in 1964 to cosmetics company Rayette Inc., which changed its name to Rayette-Fabergé Inc.
As the name was resold more times, Fabergé companies (such as Fabergé Inc.) launched clothing lines, the cologne Brut (which became the best-selling cologne at the time), the perfume Babe, hair products, and also undertook film production.
The brand changed hands a few more times, and jewellery was eventually added back to the product lines.
Next to branded Fabergé products, the world market has been continuously supplied with imitation "Fauxbergé" items and "Fabergé-style" products.
Today, the brand is solely used for jewellery items and gem stones.

Place of birth
The place of birth( POB) or birthplace is the place where a person was born.
This place is often used in legal documents, together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person.
As a general rule with respect to passports, the place of birth is determined to be the country that currently has" sovereignty" over the actual place of birth, regardless of when the birth actually occurred.
The place of birth is not necessarily the place where the parents of the new baby live.
If the baby is born in a hospital in another place, that place is the place of birth.
In many countries, this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby is registered in the place of birth.
Some countries place less or no importance on the place of birth, instead using alternative geographical characteristics for the purpose of identity documents.
For example, Sweden has used the concept of" födelsehemortdomicile of birth") since 1947.
This means that the domicile of the baby's mother is the registered place of birth.
The location of the maternity ward or other physical birthplace is considered unimportant.
Similarly, Switzerland uses the concept of" Heimatortlieu d'origineluogo d'origineplace of origin" in German, French and Italian respectively).
A child born to Swiss parents is automatically assigned the place of origin of the parent with the same last name, so the child either gets their mother's or father's place of origin.
A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the place of origin of their Swiss parent.
In a Swiss passport and identity card, the holder's place of origin is stated, not their place of birth.
In some countries( primarily in the Americas), the place of birth automatically determines the nationality of the baby, a practice often referred to by the Latin phrase" jus soli".
Almost all countries outside the Americas instead attribute nationality based on the nationality( ies) of the baby's parents( referred to as" jus sanguinis").
There can be some confusion regarding the place of birth if the birth takes place in an unusual way: when babies are born on an airplane or at sea, difficulties can arise.
The place of birth of such a person depends on the law of the countries involved, which include the nationality of the plane or ship, the nationality( ies) of the parents and/ or the location of the plane or ship( if the birth occurs in the territorial waters or airspace of a country).
Some administrative forms may request the applicant's" country of birth".
It is important to determine from the requester whether the information requested refers to the applicant's" place of birth" or" nationality at birth".
For US citizens born abroad who under the US Constitution acquire US citizenship at the time of birth, the nationality at birth will be USA( American), while the place of birth would be the country in which the actual birth takes place.

Motherland is the place of one's birth, the place of one's ancestors, or the place of origin of an ethnic group.

Fabergé workmaster
A Fabergé workmaster is a craftsman who owned his own workshop and produced jewelry, silver or objets d'art for the House of Fabergé.
When Carl Fabergé took over the running of the business in 1882, its output increased so rapidly that the two Fabergé brothers could not manage all the workshops themselves.
They therefore decided to establish independent workshops.
The owners of these were committed to only work for the House of Fabergé that would supply the sketches and models of the objects to be made.
Nothing would be accepted by the House unless it had been approved by either Carl or his appointed deputy.
The House of Fabergé also employed its own designers.
However we also know from the Memoirs of François Birbaum written in 1919( Birbaum was Head Designer of the House of Fabergé from 1896 to 1917) that Carl also designed himself.
The workmasters presided over teams of craftsmen and were responsible for executing pieces conceived by the company's designers.
The House of Fabergé was staffed with some of the finest goldsmiths and jewelers available.
It is often said that Fabergé did not make anything produced by the House of Fabergé.
It is true that nothing has survived that can be said to have been the work of Carl Fabergé.
His father, Gustav Fabergé and the founder of the House of Fabergé, ensured that his eldest son received the best possible training to take over the business.
After Carl ’s education in St. Petersburg, this was followed by a course at the Arts and Crafts School in Dresden, the city to which his parents had retired.
He then embarked on an eight- year Grand Tour of Europe where he received tuition from respected goldsmiths in Germany, France and England.
The ‘ apprenticeship ’ with these goldsmiths would have resulted in Carl working at the bench and producing objects.
When Carl returned to the House of Fabergé in St. Petersburg during 1872 his father ’s trusted workmaster Finnish- born Hiskias Pendin acted as his mentor and tutor.
This would also have involved Carl working at the bench and producing objects.
When he was awarded the title Master Goldsmith in 1882, his reputation was then so high that the usual three- day examination was waived; this would not have happened if he had never made anything.
The business was divided into several workshops, each with its own specialty.
In addition to the fabulous easter eggs, the workshop also produced table silver, jewelry, European- style trinkets, and Russian- style carvings.
The two master jewelers most responsible for making the Fabergé eggs were Michael Perchin and Finnish- born Henrik Wigström.
Born in 1860, Perchin became the leading workmaster in the House of Fabergé in 1886 and supervised production of the eggs until 1903.
Those eggs he was responsible for have his MP( MP- Michael Perchin) markings.
All signed eggs made after 1903 bear Henrik Wigström's HW mark.
Of course, not all eggs were stamped, so other goldsmiths may have supervised production of some of the eggs.
Altogether there have been more than 40 workmasters.
