OUR ARTISANS

In 1958, the late Victor Jiliaev founded the Jiliaev Jewellery tradition. Taking inspiration from the world famous “Faberge Eggs,” he later passed on his vision to Iouri Jiliaev, his son, who himself was commissioned to replicate the museum jewellery pieces.

Iouri continues to garner awards for his work as a master goldsmith and is the co-founder of Jiliaev Jewellery Collection with permanent residency in Toronto. The utilization of raw gems and authentic material has always inspired Iouri’s work.

Like his father, he has been developing his own techniques over decades. He stringently focuses on quality, intricacies and vivid projection to the ever-increasing insatiable demands for one-of-a-kind jewellery.
