OREANDA-NEWS. March 21, 2014. Bank ZENIT and Auction House Christie's held the first event as part of the Russian Tout project – a series of events where jewellery specialists from Chrisite's will be on hand to showcase exquisite gems and jewels.

L'Apogee Courchevel 5* deluxe Hotel, Courchevel (France), for a few days was a venue for the spring "session" of the project which was highly welcomed by both Russian and foreign clients of the Bank and the auction house. Further four "sessions" are scheduled to be held in Monaco and Italy (Sardinia) during summer and in Russia (Moscow) and Great Britain (London) in autumn.

"We were pleased to invite our Private Banking clients to meet jewellery specialists from one of the most recognized auction leaders, while Bank ZENIT had an opportunity to tell the guests about the new opportunities in maintaining and growing clients' wealth. We are looking forward to new events," said Stanislav Pashchenko, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board, Bank ZENIT.

"Christie's Private Sales Jewels has been in the market for many years providing brokerage and consulting services for its clients to buy items made of precious metals. We are glad that this year, in partnership with Bank ZENIT, one of the Russian leading financial organisations, we launched a special project which, primarily, focuses on Russian buyers," commented Julien Brunie, General Manager, Christie's International Private Sales.
