«Animals», another important genre where expressive animalistic forms are born by the highest class jewelers scrupulously using various techniques
Figurative plastic works showing all the mastery of artists working with precious stone, including a sculpture “Chaliapin”, one of the latest masterpieces of “Anna Nova” house.
