In 1985, he began to master the craft of a professional jeweler.

Since 1991, Alexander Khomov has been the head of the Empire firm and since 1999 has joined the Union of Artists of the Russian Federation.

Since 2000, he has been creating exclusive jewelry products.

From 2003 to the present, the artist-jeweler has been working with titanium.

Since the early 1990s, Alexander Khomov has been a regular participant in jewelry exhibitions in Russia and abroad. One of the main achievements at this time was the participation of the jewelry collection of A. Khomov in 1996 at the exhibition dedicated to the 850th anniversary of Moscow in the White Chambers of the Kremlin and in the Our Names competition, held in the same year at the State Historical Museum of the Kremlin. At the end of the competition, A. Khomov’s masterpiece “Hairpin Brooch” remains in the permanent exhibition of the Historical Museum.

In 2002, A. Khomov received a diploma of the “Laureate of the National Competition of Jewelry Design” Golden Constellation “for the Firebird necklace” from the Academy of Jewelry Art.

In his work, Alexander Khomov focuses on the artistic traditions of well-known Russian jewelry firms of the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries: Faberge, Nemirov-Kolodkin, Ovchinnikov and others. A. Khomov revived the manufacture of highly artistic, exclusive works that are not inferior to the best examples of domestic jewelry art.

Jewelery by Alexander Khomov is notable for its exquisite form, richness of decor, range of colors, and high level of technical performance. Being both a designer and a performer of his works, he successfully solves complex problems and embodies bizarre fantasies.

I would especially like to note the works made exclusively by hand, using ancient jewelry technologies (forging, deep engraving, chasing). A. Khomov’s products are distinguished by the ability to combine the most complex techniques of execution and decoration techniques in one item.

The manufacture of artistic products from titanium made Alexander Khomov world famous.

When the jeweler Alexander Khomov presented his titanium collection to the public, the experts could not believe their eyes. Refractory metal, not amenable to manual processing, at Khomov bends in different directions and takes on plant forms. How to make flowers from titanium, the jeweler does not tell. And he does not even receive a patent for the technology in order to avoid publicity of the “recipe”.

Before anything began to turn out, says Mr. Khomov, a lot of jewelry tools were damaged. But now he enjoys the confusion of professionals and amateurs. There is something to be surprised at: no one has been able to make a full-fledged piece of jewelry out of titanium until now.

It is believed that it is impossible to work with titanium in the same way as with gold or platinum. This metal is actively used in aircraft and rocket building, shovels are also made from it – almost eternal. The thinnest things made of titanium are bicycle frames and watch cases. Titanium is inert, light and melts at temperatures above 3000°C. “Platinum, the most refractory of all noble metals, melts at 2800. It is stirred with a titanium stick,” Alexander Khomov triumphantly reports.
