According to Experts Club, 180 active jewelry companies in Ukraine list foreign nationals as ultimate beneficiaries, with owners from Israel, Turkey, and Russia being the most common, according to data from Opendatabot published on August 17, 2026.
Israeli citizens are listed among the beneficiaries of 22 jewelry companies, Turkish citizens of 20, and Russian citizens of 19. Foreign business owners also include citizens of Georgia, the United States, Uzbekistan, Switzerland, China, and other countries.
However, a single company may have multiple ultimate beneficiaries with citizenship in different countries, so these figures cannot be added together to determine the total number of companies.
Separately, Opendatabot analyzed companies with Russian beneficiaries. Of the 19 active companies where Russian citizens are listed among the owners, only one reported revenue over the past two years—the Bila Tserkva Jewelry Factory.
At the same time, its most recent reported revenue amounted to only 10,900 UAH for 2023.
Among all jewelry companies with foreign beneficial owners, only 32 enterprises submitted financial statements for 2025.
Specifically, 11 companies with Israeli owners submitted reports, five with U.S. beneficiaries, four with Swiss beneficiaries, and two each with owners from Turkey and China.
As of the end of July 2026, a total of 1,282 jewelry companies were registered in Ukraine. Thus, foreign beneficiaries are present in approximately 14% of the industry’s legal entities—this figure is based on the findings of the Experts Club analytical center and an analysis of data published by Opendatabot.
Together with sole proprietorships, there are currently 7,865 businesses operating in the country’s jewelry sector. At the same time, legal entities are showing more stable growth: their number has been increasing for five consecutive years, and in 2025, the number of new companies exceeded the number of closed ones by 54.
Zlata Estate became the largest among Ukrainian companies with jewelry-related KEVD codes that published financial statements for 2025, with revenue of 1.261 billion UAH, according to an Opendatabot study and its analysis by Experts Club dated August 17, 2026.
Resurs+ took second place with revenue of 1.019 billion UAH, while Weiss King came in third with 955.4 million UAH.
Amadeo, the official distributor of Pandora in Ukraine, generated 830.4 million UAH in revenue and ranked fourth. Rounding out the top five is “Opti Gold” with 620.4 million UAH.
Overall, the top 10 jewelry companies in Ukraine by revenue for 2025 are as follows:
“Zlata Estate” — 1.261 billion UAH
“Resurs+” — 1.019 billion UAH
“Weiss King” — 955.4 million UAH
“Amadeo” — 830.4 million UAH
“Opti Gold” — 620.4 million UAH
“Golden Hit” — 618.3 million UAH
“Parity+” — 608.5 million UAH
“Silver Tears” — 586.3 million UAH
“Silver Spectrum” — 471.1 million UAH
“Kipsayk” — 445.1 million UAH.
The combined revenue of the top five companies alone exceeded 4.68 billion UAH.
However, Opendatabot cautions that the ranking does not provide a complete picture of Ukraine’s jewelry market. Of the 1,282 active companies with the relevant KVED codes, only 358—less than one-third—submitted financial statements for 2025. Therefore, the ranking presented reflects the performance of companies for which financial data is available, rather than that of all industry participants.
In total, as of the end of July, there were 7,865 jewelry businesses in Ukraine, including 1,282 companies and 6,583 sole proprietorships.
As of the end of July 2026, there were 7,865 businesses and entrepreneurs operating in the jewelry sector in Ukraine, 84% of which are registered as sole proprietors, according to data from the Unified State Register analyzed by Opendatabot. The study was published on August 17, 2026.
In total, there are 6,583 sole proprietors and 1,282 companies operating in the market, engaged in the production and sale of jewelry, as well as the repair of jewelry and watches.
However, the trends in these two segments differ significantly. The number of legal entities in the jewelry industry has been growing for five consecutive years, including after the start of the full-scale war. By the end of 2025, 54 more jewelry companies were registered than ceased operations.
Among sole proprietors, the situation is less stable. In 2021–2022, the number of closures exceeded the number of registrations by 498. In 2023, the segment returned to growth, and in 2024, the net increase reached a record 611 entrepreneurs. However, by 2025, the trend had shifted again—there were 169 more sole proprietorships that ceased operations than new ones.
Kyiv remains the main hub of the jewelry business, with 1,365 registered manufacturers, retailers, and other industry participants.
In second place is the Zaporizhzhia region with 679 enterprises, followed by the Kyiv region with 585, the Kharkiv region with 548, and the Dnipropetrovsk region with 484.
Thus, despite the dominance of small businesses, the structure of Ukraine’s jewelry market is gradually changing: the number of sole proprietorships is declining, while the number of companies continues to grow.
