The methodology is the use of art history analysis, methods of systematization, comparison, and generalization. The scientific novelty consists of the identifying technological and stylistic features of A. Minzhulin's author's jewelry from 1986-1988 and carrying out a graphical analysis of his jewelry set. Conclusions. Analysis of the shape and technology of making A. Minzhulin's author's jewelry, with the aim of processing them in art history, made it possible to determine that not only the art of Kievan Rus but also ancient Greece, Scythia, as well as Byzantium had a significant influence on the master's work.
