Google doodles for Peter Carl Faberge's 166th birthday

A set of six exquisite jewelled eggs adorn the Google home page in honour Peter Carl Fabergé. Wednesday is the 166th birth anniversary of the the legendary Russian jeweller.

Peter Carl Fabergé also known as "Karl Gustavovich Fabergé" (Russian: Карл Густавович Фаберже, May 30 [O.S. May 18] 1846 – September 24, 1920) was a Russian jeweller, best known for the famous Fabergé eggs, made in the style of genuine Easter eggs, but using precious metals and gemstones rather than more mundane materials.
He was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia to the Baltic German jeweller Gustav Fabergé and his Danish wife Charlotte Jungstedt. Gustav Fabergé’s paternal ancestors were Huguenots, originally from La Bouteille, Picardy, who fled from France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, first to Germany near Berlin, then in 1800 to the Baltic province of Livonia, then part of Russia.
