Dubbed the “champion of enamel”, award-winning jewellery designer Ilgiz Fazulzyanov’s handcrafted jewels are reminiscent of incredibly detailed and colourful miniature paintings. Designing under the moniker Ilgiz F, he is one of only a handful of jewellers in the world to have mastered a plethora of jewellery-making techniques, including filigree, engraving, coining and, of course, enamelling.
Ilgiz was the first living designer to be honoured with a solo exhibition at the Kremlin since Pierre-Karl Fabergé in 1917.
Ilgiz opened his first workshop in 1992 and, as well as creating his own jewels, he is regularly called upon to help restore 19th century enamel jewellery at museums such as the Kremlin Armoury and the V&A in London. We can but marvel at his uncanny ability to replicate the world around him with such painstaking precision in the most beautiful
bejewelled forms.
