The collection of Her Majesty Queen of Great Britain Elizabeth contains quite a few works of art by Russian jewelers. A special place there belongs to the collection of Easter eggs, stone-cut statuettes and flowers created in the early 20th century at the famous Peter Carl Faberger jewelry firm.
Precious interior ornaments presented on these pages are neither museum exhibits nor unknown masterpieces by the great craftsmen of the past. Their authors are artists and jewelers of the SYRIN company that has been set up in Moscow more than 10 years ago.
During these years SYRIN has produced a large collection of jewelry and pieces of the modern jewelry art. Of particular interest are precious interior ornaments because articles of this kind were made in Russia only at the beginning of the last century.
The collection of Easter eggs, the firms first one, is dedicated to the glory of the Russian jewelry art.
The long forgotten jewelry techniques and technologies were perfected on them. The Easter collection is sort of a claim by the firm for its own vision of this theme. The biggest, ceremonial egg in this collection is dedicated to the 150th jubilee of the Peter Carl Faberger firm celebrated in 1996. SYRINs artists, enameling craftsmen, fixers and stone-cutters put all their skills into it.
The firm first collection was followed by a lot more sophisticated and amazing pieces: table and fireplace clocks made of gold with enamel and precious stones, jewelry-ornamented bowls and glasses, precious toiletries, caskets, ashtrays, paper knives with unique carving along beards and precious plates.
In the course of its activities SYRIN has become and remains one of the leading firms on Russias jewelry market. The company has got its own permanent customers. Jewelry art lovers in Austria, Switzerland, USA, Italy, Israel have already had an opportunity to see samples of SYRINs work.
