Vintage Soviet ussr silver 800 ring with unknown stone Uk size O

About this piece

A characterful Soviet-era ring in silver 800, featuring a distinctive twisted band that wraps elegantly around a modest stone setting. The design captures the understated modernist aesthetic favoured in mid-20th century Eastern European jewellery — functional, geometric, and refined. The band shows the warm patina of age and gentle wear consistent with everyday wear over decades.

In UK size O, the ring sits comfortably as a statement piece without overwhelming the hand. The stone — a pale, slightly milky mineral — remains unidentified from the photographs, though its modest size and bezel setting suggest it may be a semi-precious variety or synthetic stone common to Soviet production. The silver bears the 800 hallmark, confirming good silver content. The band itself shows light surface marks and toning, which we’d expect from genuine vintage use rather than recent distressing. It cleans gently with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, and benefits from occasional polishing to restore shine.
