Amidst the rugged peaks and fertile valleys of the Caucasus, life dances like the wind, embracing both the challenges of the terrain and the warmth of shared traditions.
Our Commitment to Craft and Care
Creating the highest quality memorials has been our mission from the beginning. What sets us apart is our family’s dedication, refined over more than 60 years and now carried by the third generation. Our principles remain consistent: precision, respect, and artistry.
Hajiev Stones began as a modest workshop and grew into an international name through passion and perseverance. Today, every granite memorial we produce is a story of love, memory, and remembrance. Each headstone we shape represents our craftsmanship and also our family’s responsibility to those we serve.
1960
Makhachkala, Dagestan
Our story begins with Arslan Hajiev, who led a monument manufacturing workshop in the central cemetery of Makhachkala. His exceptional craftsmanship and dedication laid the foundation for Hajiev Stones, turning a cooperative into a private business after the Soviet collapse.
1994
A New Chapter of Unity
A pivotal moment in our history occurred when Arslan’s daughter, Sona, married Ilgar. Their union, a harmonious blend of different cultures and traditions, became the cornerstone of a vision for uniting diverse perspectives in business and craftsmanship. Together, they expanded their father’s legacy, emphasizing innovation and quality. This partnership was further strengthened in 2004 with the establishment of the state-of-the-art Marble-Granite Plant, making Hajiev Stones a leader in high-quality granite production.
2011
Expansion into Europe
The family’s vision extended into Europe, reaching countries like Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine, Turkey, and Russia. Their high-quality granite, sourced globally and refined with exceptional care, has set a standard for excellence across the region.
2022
