The methodology of the research is to apply art-study, analytical, and comparative research methods, which allowed, based on the analysis of the arts and archaeological source, to discover the similarities and differences in the made-up jewels and relics of the ancient masters found in the territory of the Galician land. The scientific novelty of the study involves the art-study analysis of previously unknown works of jewelry art, based on the analysis of which was established existence in Galich in the XII century, an original art school for the production of sacral products in the technology of partitioned enamels. Conclusions. As a result of the research, it was found that the establishment of the production of cross-engolpions in the Galician Principality dates back to the middle of the XII century when the Galician masters seized one of the most complex craft professions - glasswork, which is confirmed by archaeological excavations. The mentioned fact allowed to move from using Byzantine smalt to local enamel production, introducing a new interpretation of sacred works. Findings of the Galician crosses with partitioned enamels convincingly testify to the flowering of the enamel affair in the ancient Galich in the second half of the XII century.
