August Holmstrom (1829-1903) joined the firm of Gustav Faberge (father of Karl Faberge) as chief jeweler in 1857 and was responsible for some of Faberge's greatest jewels. August and his son Albert (1876-1925), who succeeded him after his death in 1903, were known for their fine work with diamonds and produced most of Faberge's high-end jewelry.
