HISTORY OF SAMOKISH
The SAMOKISH brand began its journey as a cherished hobby of a young designer Kateryna Samokish in 2010.
Being a student, the designer made her first jewelry pieces for herself from all available materials she had at home like plastic beads, etc. From the very beginning people found her jewelry works unique and very different to what they could buy at that time. Then first orders came and Kateryna began developing her hobby while she was still a student.
The idea to drastically change her life from law to art did not arise out of nowhere. In fact, the whole family of Kateryna Samokish are art representatives. Her grandfather Nikolai Samokish was a famous artist, whose pictures are kept in museums as well as private exclusive collections. Her grandmother – pianist, mother – actress and her father used to be a deputy head manager of L.Ukrainka, National Drama Theatre.
A few years ago Kateryna Samokish left her successful legal practice to pursue her passion and started creating unique jewelry pieces from distinct Italian chains, semi-precious stones and rhinestones. Today Samokish is already famous and well-established brand with a team of professionals, its own strategy, plans and ambitious goals.

PHILOSOPHY AND VALUES
The simple philosophy of SAMOKISH is to help a woman emphasize her personality. We do not dictate style and fashion, we only help each and every one to accentuate her true beauty and create her own style.
Once we have challenged global trends in the fashion industry that called to abandon a woman’s identity and we found support from thousands of those, who love their originality and are not afraid to experiment with their style.
STYLE AND UNIQUENESS
The style of SAMOKISH is recognizable due to the combination of natural stones of incredible beauty and Italian chains with anti-allergenic nickel-free coating that are also produced for the leading Italian fashion houses (Furla, Giuseppe Zanotti, Dsquared2).
We use semi-precious stones, such as agates, amethysts, quartz, jasper, pearls and others. In wild nature two absolutely identical natural stones do not exist. Each stone is unique and unrepeatable. Every stone is carefully hand-selected by the designer Kateryna Basovskaya, and that’s why their beauty and versatility fascinate.
Every year SAMOKISH brand develops several seasonal and limited collections, as well as exclusive custom-made jewelry.
The most recognizable jewelry of SAMOKISH is a necklace created by a combination of various chains with large massive stones. Every collection includes this type of necklace but with a new shape and color.
SAMOKISH jewelry is produced in quite a limited quantity, It is definitely not intended to be mass produced. That’s why every piece stays authentic and carries an individual approach with its own soul.
The distinctive feature of the collections is the lack of a binding to seasonality. All products stay relevant regardless to the collection and the time period of its release. Therefore, we do not have seasonal sales, we have special offers limited in time as bonuses for our customers.
ATTENTION TO EVERY DETAIL
As a luxury brand SAMOKISH pays great attention to every detail. We find it extremely important that our client receives the highest quality of the product available starting from design and packaging to all additional advertising materials.
We’ve created special felt packaging to store our jewelry which helps to keep all the pieces in its original state.
