Leningrad Jewelry Factory (Soviet, 1920s - 1990s)

The Leningrad Jewellery Factory comes from the Leningrad Jewellery Partnership, which operated in the 1920s. In 1936 the workshops were reorganised into the Leningrad Jewellery and Watch Factory. The enterprise had workshops for the production of gold and silver jewellery and watches, silver tableware, tompak items, stone-cutting and lapidary production. In the 1940s, the factory produced plastic jewellery: beads, cameos, brooches. In 1952, the jewellery factory began to revive the traditional filigree technique. In 1960 it was renamed the Leningrad Jewellery Factory.
