About exhibition

We invite you on December 4, 2025 to Zenyk Art Gallery, ZASS exhibition space (3rd floor), for Fine Jewellery of Ukraine — a one-day pop-up presentation by the Lobortas House.

This special event offers a rare opportunity to experience the highest level of contemporary Ukrainian jewellery craftsmanship. The showcase brings together exceptionally intricate pieces created by a large creative team working within a unified artistic vision. Each work reflects a balance of technical mastery, innovation, and refined aesthetics. Several objects are true one-of-a-kind masterpieces, produced in a single edition and remarkable for their precision and complexity.

The Highlight

At the center of the presentation is the legendary ring “The Swan Princess.”
It became the first Ukrainian jewellery piece to enter the Guinness World Records, establishing a global category for the ring with the greatest number of diamonds.

In 2012, the record appeared in more than 100,000 international publications, including Forbes, Rapaport, Idex, Diamond World, ELLE, VOGUE, and many other leading media outlets. The ring has since become a symbol of the House’s technical excellence and an important cultural milestone for Ukraine on the international stage.

What You Will See

The presentation reveals key directions of the Lobortas creative laboratory, including:

• original hot enamel techniques (champlevé and cloisonné)
• transformable jewellery with complex engineering mechanisms
• mirror-polished surfaces and optical illusion pieces
• patented jewellery technologies and experimental forms

Lecture — 19:00

At 7:00 PM, Creative Director Anastasiia Lobortas will deliver a lecture titled:

“Fine Jewellery of Ukraine: Technology, Innovation, and Cultural Diplomacy.”

The talk will explore the evolution of the Lobortas House through its signature techniques, technological innovations, and the role of jewellery in shaping a country’s cultural image. Anastasiia Lobortas will share insights into creating complex compositions that merge engineering, artistic vision, microminiature craftsmanship, and symbolic form, and will discuss how Ukrainian fine jewellery is becoming a language of contemporary cultural diplomacy.

Lecture admission is free with prior registration.
