Latest Google Doodle Pays Tribute to Peter Carl Faberg

Google has been known to pay tributes to many accomplishers and their accomplishments with interesting doodle on its search page. Over the years, it has come up with many interesting doodles. The recent one celebrates the 166th birth anniversary of jeweler Peter Carl Faberge. He was a renowned Russian jeweler best known for his ornate Easter eggs that he created for the last two generations of the Russian imperial family. His glistening Easter eggs were made by using precious gemstones and metals.

In order to acknowledge the work of the famous jeweler Google doodle has set of six eggs decorated with gold, diamonds, precious metals and gemstones. He was known to be a perfectionist and took lessons from creative and much revered goldsmiths of his time in France, Germany and England to achieve that flawlessness.

In 1885 he was awarded the title 'Goldsmith by special appointment to the Imperial Crown' by Tsar Alexander III for his superb craftsmanship. There have been many famous works done by him but the most famous is the replica of a 4th century BC gold bangle from the Scythian Treasure in the Hermitage. That piece was so immaculate that even Tsar was unable to distinguish it from the original.
