  1. Born in St. Petersburg in 1846, Peter Carl Fabei was born in St. Petersburg. His father Gustav Fabei was dedicated to run a small silverware and jewelry workshop. It has become Russia's premier jewelry shop and is sought after by royal family in Russia and Europe. Karl Fabe was prepared before taking over his father's jewelry shop. He first studied at a business school in Germany in Germany for several years, and then traveled to European countries. When he took the family's little jewelry workshop in 1872, he had rich business knowledge and extraordinary artistic vision, and prepared a big job. At that time, the jewelry shop in Fabejia's house was not very different from other homes. Everyone was doing business in Saint Petersburg. After thinking about the young Fabei, only unique can make Fabe hot jewelry famous. At that time, the taste of Russian authorities in jewelery was really uninteresting. In their eyes, the value of jewelry mainly depends on the size and weight. The larger the head, the heavier the weight, the more you can attract envy. In this kind of unpretentious and wide -ranging atmosphere, Fabei and his younger brother launched a small revolution -of course, it was not the political revolution, but the artistic style revolution. In order to distinguish from other jewelry merchants, Fabe Hot will focus on the pursuit of artistic creativity and craftsmanship from jewelry carats.
    . He changed the practice of piled precious materials in the past and piled up precious materials, and boldly used ceramics, glass, steel, wood, small pearls and other materials. Fabei is most focused on design. His works reflect a variety of styles such as Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and New Art. Some works even have a strong sense of modernity. And simple style. When his opponents still kept the traditional white, light blue and pink pigments, Fabe Hot was innovative, and it used yellow, purple red, orange red and various greens -there was a total of all kinds of greens -there was a total of all kinds of green -there were all kinds of greens. More than 140 new colors. Fabei will also destroy all the products that have not been sold at the end of the year. This is the greatest point of Fabei. He never repeated himself.
    The know how to sell yourself cleverly. Although he was originally a jewelry and golden artisan, he knew how to seize every opportunity. Before he was appreciated by the Tsar, he worked hard to get the work of the emperor's art garden, where he saw various strange treasures passed down from the royal family, and at the same time did some repair and valuation work. This experience made him acknowledge and appreciate the peers, and was invited to participate in the Pan -Russian exhibition in 1882. Fabe's exhaustion can do his best, and made a batch of exquisite jewelry to participate. He got a generous return -a gold medal, and many newspapers reported him; more importantly, the Tsar Alexander III and him His wife Mary Fio Dorodna also came to visit the exhibition and was attracted by the unique Fabe hot exhibits.
    In addition to the headquarters of St. Petersburg, Fabeje has a workshop in Moscow, Odessa, and Kyiv, and also set up branches in London. During the heyday, there were as many as 500 employees of Fabe Hot Company, which was the premier jewelry shop in Russia. At this time, Fabei has shown outstanding management talents. Due to too many orders, he invited top -level craft masters from all over the country and even countries to let them serve Fabe Hot Factory together. He himself is responsible for setting goals, design, and product directory for the company. Therefore, although Fabe's name is equivalent to the luxurious and exquisite jewelry of the Tsarist Russia Empire, in fact, no work was made by his hand. The Tsar Egg Egg is also the result of collective cooperation: first of all, after the preliminary planning, the sketch and model are completed; then the goldrs, silverrs, glazed artisans, jewelry craftsmen, jade craftsmen, and stone workers are discussed and comprehensively conspired. It was then assigned to the factory under Fabe heat for processing.
    1918 After the Romanov dynasty was destroyed, Fabe Hot's family property was charged, and some of them were ransacked. Fabei and his family boarded the last diplomatic train to RII to leave Russia, but no one would never expect that they could no longer return to their hometown they loved.
