Summary/Abstract: This article aims to describe the city of Chișinău as a true center of artistic metal processing. Here there were jewelry making workshops, the Jewelry Factory, the Jewelry Workshops of Plastic Fund, most of the notorious jewelers worked here. Chișinău, rightly, was and remains the core of the development of metal art in the current space of the Republic of Moldova. From a chronological point of view, four stages of development of the city from the perspective of the metal art were outlined: 1812–1917; 1918–1940; 1945–1991 and the period after the proclamation of the independence of the Republic of Moldova. Both fine artists and those who practiced metal art viewed the Chișinău city not only as a socio-economic and cultural center, but also as a source of inspiration to pay a well-deserved tribute to the city (A. Marco, enameled plaque Măzărache Church in Chișinău; V.Vasilkov, set of articles for the Civil Status Office, Central Sector, Chișinău, Gh.
