Founded by Viktor Moisekin, a highly devoted and well-known jeweler in Russia, luxury jewelry company Moiseikin has created unparalleled pieces for heads of state and royalty around the world, as well as medals for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Its work is charged with emotion, commands attention and is endlessly creative. 

The company was started in 1993, and its team of artisans draws on centuries of Russian jewelry traditions from such firms as Fabergé and Bolin, while involving cutting-edge contemporary techniques. For example, its proprietary diamond-setting technology involves setting a diamond at just two points. Moiseikin is known for its exceptional quality and opulent detail, with forms from nature like animals and flowers inspiring its luxurious pieces. Gold branches on brooches are adorned with leaves of rubies and diamonds and white gold rings bloom with blossoms of sapphires.

Headquartered in Yekaterinburg, the jewelry house showcases fine gemstones from the nearby Ural Mountains. Among its selections of animal objets d’art and floral earrings, the Horn of Plenty stands as Moiseikin’s crowning achievement. Taking over a year to make, the piece contains an enormous nautilus shell with 500,000 sapphires, 20,000 diamonds and one kilogram of gold. A hummingbird hovering over an orchid completes the sculpture, which also includes a manually wound clock housed within its base.

On 1stDibs, find a collection of Moiseikin rings, earrings, necklaces and more.

A Close Look at contemporary Jewelry

Contemporary jewelry is inextricably linked with the moment in which it is created, frequently reflecting current social, cultural and political issues such as environmental consciousness, identity and sustainability. It’s informed by fashion trends, from the chokers of the 1990s to the large chain necklaces of the early 2000s.

Jewelry is one of the oldest forms of adornment. Lockets made of silver or gold have been treasured gifts for hundreds of years, for example, and charm bracelets, which have existed since prehistoric times, didn’t become especially popular until the 19th-century reign of Queen Victoria. For many centuries, fine jewelry was used primarily to express wealth or status through lavish materials. Then, in the 1960s, a concept known as the “critique of preciousness” emerged, with jewelers creating pieces that did not get their value from gemstones or precious metals. Instead, it was the jeweler’s artistic vision that was prized and elevated.

This shift still informs Contemporary jewelry being made by artists today. Whether they are using cheap, found materials and working with provocative geometric shapes or seeking out the rarest stones, they are imbuing their work with meaning through their skills, techniques and ideas. Innovative designers such as Elsa Peretti, who popularized sculptural sterling-silver jewelry for Tiffany & Co., and David Yurman, who twisted metal into the simple yet striking Cable bracelet, have also influenced the direction of Contemporary jewelry’s forms and aesthetics.

Meanwhile, technological advancements like metal alloys and laser engraving have led to new possibilities in jewelry design. Now, edgy makers and brands as well as minimalist designers are pushing Contemporary jewelry forward into the 21st century.
