On March 31, 2016, an extraordinary joint exhibition between Russian goldsmith Ilgiz Fazulzyanov and Bovet was officially opened. The event was exceptional in that the last independent jeweler to have been granted the privilege of presenting a solo exhibition within the walls ofthe Moscow Kremlin Museum was none other than Peter Carl Fabergé.
The fact that Elena Gagarina, General Director of the Moscow Kremlin Museums and host of the exhibition, decided to welcome Ilgiz Fazulzyanov into the Ouspenskaya Bell Tower demonstrates that despite his young age, the artist has already left his mark on the history of fine jewelry with his characteristic style. Inspired by nature, his jewelry not only reproduces its slightest, most delicate details; it also conveys the emotions roused by the flight of a dragonfly or the scent of a flower.
This talent was immediately apparent when Ilgiz F. and Pascal Raffy, owner of Bovet and Dimier1738, met two years ago. They have been working together since 2015 to create a collection ofexclusive timepieces that harmoniously combine grand feu enameling, gem-setting and watchmaking technology. Their partnership has already given rise to around ten unique pieces, several of which are an integral part of this exhibition.
The exhibition is to be seen at the Moscow Kremlin Museums until July 31st.
