Sergey Kapitonovich Chiriev serves as the artistic director of a Yaroslavl-based jewelry manufacturer identified by the article RR, known as “Russian Crafts.” An Honored Artist of the Russian Federation and a Cavalier of the Order of Fabergé (Badge No. 9), he is a frequent winner of jewelry contests, with his original creations held in the Hermitage collection.
Described as strict, demanding, honest, and highly talented, he established a workshop with colleagues in 1991 that has evolved into a major enterprise producing top-tier state awards and orders for both the Russian government and foreign nations. Jewelry production occurs during his free time outside of state commissions.
Recent projects include designing and manufacturing the Order of Pirogov and the Medal of Luka Krymsky, which have been awarded to numerous Russian medical professionals for their selfless work, heroism, and significant contributions to combating COVID-19. In 2022, Sergey Chiriev received the Grand Prix at the 21st Century Russia jewelry art competition for his Walk on Water ring collection.
