In honor of the celebration of the Independence Day of Georgia, the State Museum of Fine Arts has launched an exhibition of works by Georgian jewelers using the minankari technique. The Minister of Culture of Turkmenistan Atageldy Shamuradov and the Ambassador of Georgia to Turkmenistan Konstantin Sabiashvili took part in the opening ceremony of the exhibition.

The atrium hall, where this action took place, created an amazing atmosphere of goodwill. She was promoted by reproductions depicting Georgian women adorning themselves with ancient jewelry, which were located around the perimeter of the hall. In the center are two paintings by the Turkmen artist Dmitry Filipchenko, made on velvet. Especially for this event, using photographs of Georgian jewelry, Dmitry depicted a Georgian woman and a Georgian man who decorated their clothes with jewelry.

Next to these paintings is a string quartet from the Turkmen National Conservatory named after. M. Kuliyeva, performing works by Turkmen and Georgian composers.

The representative of the Union of Artists of Georgia, Tamara Jeparidze, presented her collection and seven other jewelers at the exhibition. She told visitors about the history of the Minankari art, which dates back to the 9th century. Byzantium is the birthplace of this art. Like many other arts, the Minankari experienced ups and downs.

In ancient times, partition enamel was used in the manufacture of icons and church items, and today it has found wide application in the manufacture of women's and men's jewelry - rings, earrings, pendants, brooches and bracelets.

Visitors to the exhibition with undisguised interest examined the fine items made of silver and enamel, especially women, who at all times were not indifferent to jewelry. An example of this is a photograph taken at the exhibition, in which designer Irina Arustamova and Tamara Jeparidze are dressed in outfits adorned with Turkmen and Georgian jewelry.
