Alex named one of the best Ukrainian Jewelers by the Fund Faberge

 

We recently discovered that Alex Gulko is named one of the best Ukrainian jewelers by the reputable and widely known Fund Faberge in St. Petersburg based on a collection he created years ago in Ukraine. Parts of the collection were included in international exhibitions held in Hungary and Yugoslavia and state exhibitions held in Ukraine. Some of the pieces were featured in catalogs and posters of these exhibitions.

Several pieces of this collection were purchased for display by the most famous museum in Ukraine, The National Ukrainian Museum of Historical Treasures. This museum holds the largest collection of artifacts made from precious metals and stones including work created by old Scythians tribes, historical Ukrainian goldsmiths, 17th-19th century Russian jewelers, and modern Ukrainian jewelers. The museum also puts on exhibitions all around the world. In the late 80’s the museum began displaying contemporary jewelry. The museum has a page on their website dedicated to the best jewelers they have featured. There are only six artists on this page, Alex being one of them.

Part of Alex’s collection was brought to the United States and is currently displayed in his store.
