Founded in Kiev, Ukraine in 1878 by Joseph Marchak, Marchak remains a celebrated jewelry house nearly 150 years later. Exhibiting at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893 and in Antwerp in 1894, Marchak achieved an international presence and gained an international clientele. In 1920, the family business moved to Paris and opened a shop on Rue de la Paix. Utilizing fine materials and skilled craftsmen, the original and lasting designs of Marchak focus on shape and color, principles that continue to this day, further illustrating the timelessness of each creation.
