The admiring reviews of connoisseurs and experts of jewelry at specialized world exhibitions in Europe, America, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates have formed a firm opinion that the products of the Guriati jewelry house are recognized as one of the best.
"I am very impressed by the high craftsmanship with which all the items presented at the exhibition are made" - Koichiro Matsuura, Director General of UNESCO in 1999-2009.
The Guriati Jewelry House is Russia's largest manufacturer of de luxe jewelry plastics and continues the traditions of Russian decorative and applied art. The company's jewelers paid great attention to studying the best examples of classical jewelry art. The study of Faberge's experience and the development of a rich palette of his hot enamel techniques led to the creation of their own types of guilloche. Tatiana Muntyan, the curator of the Faberge collection in the Armory of the Moscow Kremlin, commented on the Giloche Guriati enamels:
"The exquisite products of the company, executed with care and splendor of truly artistic works, skillfully and delicately combine semi-precious and precious stones, various types of guilloche and enamels, creating a harmonious sounding solemn chord. It would not be an exaggeration to say that today guilloche enamel works are among the best in the world."
The main focus of the company is interior clocks and the theme of time, its secrets, glitter and colors. It is difficult to overestimate the friendship and partnership of Guriati with the outstanding watchmaker of our time, Paul Gerber from Zurich (Switzerland), noted in the Guinness Book of Records as the creator of the world's most complex watch movement. The mechanisms for Guriati watches are both serial and unique, in a single copy, made by special orders and marked "Swiss movement". The finished product has a branded stamp, is packed in an original box made of valuable wood and is provided with a certificate in Russian and English.
The masters of the jewelry house have created exhibition series "Guriati Theater", "Postscriptum", "Steps", "Guriati Circus", "Joke Orders". And the collection "Tales of Maskovia" was exhibited with great success in the State Duma of the Russian Federation. The study of Islamic traditional forms, calligraphy and coloristics helped to create the avant-garde collection "Oriental Motifs".
Patriarch Kirill uses objects of worship made by the company's jewelers at solemn divine services. For his contribution to the restoration of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, Aslanbek Guriati was awarded the highest award of the Russian Orthodox Church - the Order of the Holy Prince Daniel the Moscow Builder.
For many years, the main artist of "Guriati" was one of the most venerable Russian artists - Pavel Potekhin from St. Petersburg. He is known to the audience as the restorer who recreated the famous "Amber Room". Pavel Borisovich Potekhin, a member of the Union of Artists of Russia, made an invaluable contribution to the artistic value of the jewelry house's creations. His works are in many museum and private collections in Russia and abroad.
In addition to many types of table clocks, Guriati produces VIP accessories, cigarette cases and cigarette cases, pocket and desktop business card holders, crystal and stone-cutting vases in silver frames, table setting items, office writing instruments, photo frames, caskets, miniature sculptures, as well as icons and liturgical items. Precious stones are used in the production – diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds – of the highest characteristics, as well as gems: jade, rhodonite, lapis lazuli, various types of jasper and agate.
In recent years, a circle of Guriati art fans and collectors has formed. These people make their purchases based on aesthetic needs, not just prestige considerations or a desire to demonstrate high status. By purchasing products from the Guriati jewelry house, you become the owner of a unique work of art, the value of which cannot be estimated in carats.
