History
Since 1987 Torgsyn has offered its clientele the finest examples of antique and estate jewelry, Russian Orthodox icons, rare silver Judaica most of which was destroyed during WWII, paintings by old and modern artists and other objects of decorative art. Jewelry is the store's main specialty, and there is a great variety of pieces made of precious metals and stones from Edwardian period onward, such as platinum and diamond Edwardian necklace and brooches, Victorian bracelets, rings and earrings, fine Art Deco pieces and work by famous jewelry designers. In addition, Torgsyn produces its own line of jewelry made in the XIX century Russian and European style, fashionable again today. Through elaborate, painstaking, and time-consuming processes many original pieces in gold, platinum and silver with diamonds and other precious stones have been brought back by the Torgsyn jewelers. Torgsyn also offers jewelry made to the client's order.
Specialties
We are proud to bring you the magnificence of estate jewelry, full service watch repair, watch battery replacement, watch cleaning, antiques and paintings, as well as appraisal services. We specialize in Russian & European jewelry and decorative art. Over the centuries jewelry sometimes becomes too fragile to wear and prohibitively expensive. We believe that, despite these deterrents, it should be possible for you to enjoy the same exquisite designs that were loved by European aristocrats of the past centuries. To that end we devote ourselves to finding the best examples of XVII- early XX century designs, which are replicated faithfully by our staff of European jewelers. We also offer original antiques of the same periods, including jewelry as well as silver, porcelain, paintings, timepieces, etc. We consider our reputation with both dealers and customers to be our most precious asset. Because of that, we offer our jewelry at prices significantly lower than the usual market rate. We also provide wide range of related services to our customers: jewelry design and custom production; jewelry repair; watch repair and maintenance (polish, cleaning, waterproof test); watch battery change; appraisal services. We hope you will enjoy visiting our galleries!
