“On the one hand, representing the Russian jewelry industry at the SPIEF is a great responsibility, on the other hand, it is an opportunity to show the company’s achievements to the international economic community,” said Yuri Tolmachev, Vice-President of CHAMOVSKIKH. “This allows us to be in line with the jewelry trends, develop innovative technologies and implement them in the manufacturing of our own jewelry. All this contributes to the sustainable development of the country’s jewelry industry when we both create analogues and are ahead of the world’s leading companies in many respects.”

The CHAMOVSKIKH jewelry house was founded in 1996 in Yekaterinburg. All the company’s high-tech production facilities are located in Russia. This allows the company to work on a self-sufficiency basis without depending on turbulence in global economic processes.

For 28 years, the jewelry house has established cooperation with leading jewelry industry players in India, Southeast Asia, Africa, Australia, and other parts of the world.

The artistic value of the CHAMOVSKIKH collections is confirmed by more than 70 prestigious international awards. The jewelry house sees its mission in reviving the glory of the Russian jewelry it had in the times of Carl Fabergé. To achieve this goal, CHAMOVSKIKH regularly participates in international exhibitions. In May 2024, the brand represented Russia and the Sverdlovsk Region at the 8th Russian-Chinese EXPO in Harbin, and the company’s plans are to demonstrate its innovative developments and production equipment at the international exhibition INNOPROM-2024 to be held in July.
