Ilya Palkin Jewellery Studio is a small family business by artists jewelers Ilya and Vera, a husband and a wife. Their workshop is located in the jewelry capital of Russia – the city of Kostroma.
Their work is distinguished by a unique striking style. It is unlikely you will be able to find something similar elsewhere. Unusual and touching silverware of different warmth, delight and surprise. The range of works of this studio is very wide, both in terms of types of jewelry and in terms of jewelry techniques. They create earrings, rings, bracelets, wedding rings, brooches, necklaces, souvenirs, sculptures and so on. Traditionally, they use hot and stained enamel, niello, gilding, oxidation, etc.
The style in which jewelers work includes ethnic elements of ancient Slavic images, reinterpreted in a witty manner. Also, animalism – pendants with the images of cats, rabbits, and fish. In addition, elements of steampunk, arising out of nostalgia for the first decades of industrialization of the British Empire.

Jewellery collections include thematically united sets made out in a single style – Russian folklore, “Summer”, “Africa” and so on. The main material the jewelers use is metal – silver and gold, sometimes they also use precious and semiprecious stones.
