Do you know the most intriguing and hot Russian jewelry brands? German Kabirski. Remember this name. He also represents one of the youngest Russian jewelry brands. People in the industry started to talk about Kabirski for the first time in the year 2000, when the practically unknown designer took first place at Moscow’s international jewelry show. German Kabirski never wanted to be just another mainstream jeweler from the guild. Even if the mainstream is about following the Russian traditions of the Era of famous Carl Faberge. It should be different for him or be nothing at all.

From day one of his career Kabirski’s pieces attracted people’s attention with their non-traditional style and were immediately labeled as avant-garde. 

His rings, necklaces, chokers, earrings, and bracelets are totally unlike anything one would find within the Russian school.  German Kabirski is more about today’s trend of globalization. He plays with geometric shapes and uses these forms in building the concept of his brand. He works with materials that many other jewelry designers would view as unworthy of their attention. He has no nationality in his art, however he has his own face and style.

Kabirski’s favorite stones are color sapphires and tourmalines. The stones are lively, colorful, and unlike one another. The designer’s favorite materials are gold, silver, as well as exotic wood, ceramics, and leather. And of course diamonds, “the girls’ best friends.” Diamonds are presented with all of their beauty and glimmer in his high-class exclusive pieces. Most of these jewelry items are not even copied. Kabirski really does not like the assembly-line approach. Five to ten copies of an item is probably the limit of what would be acceptable to him. Oftentimes, people would buy Kabirski’s rings without regard to size – as collector’s items. There are entire collectors’ clubs that focus on his works.  

During your next trip to Moscow check on German Kabirski’s Zolotoi Nerv boutique located in a very quite place in the center of the city. I bet you will not leave this store for several hours.

This summer German Kabirski will come to the best American jewelry shows. He plans to conquer America.
