Ural Jeweler (artelVogul)

Hello, my name is Mikhail Karyagin , I live in Russia, in the beautiful minerals-rich area of Ural, in the city of Nizhny Tagil. Making jewelry started as a hobby for me five years ago and has become my life calling. I'm constantly looking for new ways and techniques of revealing a true beauty of natural stones for my customers. I work with silver, german silver , and since recently I do a lot of electroforming. I am a history teacher by training. Throughout my studies, I participated in the archaeological and minerals mining expeditions and fell in love with semi-precious stones of the Ural area. In 2009, I met a wonderful jewelry maker- Vladimir, who introduced me to the magic and challenging world of jewelry making and became my first instructor. Since 2013, I study jewelry making professionally in the College of Applied Arts. My goal is not just to make original jewelry, but also to introduce my customers to the natural beauty and mystery of stones and minerals. It will make me very happy if you like the jewelry pieces I have created.
