About this piece

This Russian Orthodox prayer ring carries the Jesus Prayer in Church Slavonic script — “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner” — engraved around the band and continuing into the central round setting. The raised lettering is picked out against a blackened ground, creating a striking contrast that draws the eye to the prayer text. Such rings are worn as daily spiritual anchors, their inscriptions meant to be felt and read as a meditative practice.

Crafted in 925 sterling silver, the ring features a clear cubic zirconia stone at its heart, faceted to catch the light. In UK size Q (US 8), it sits comfortably for extended wear. The surface shows the gentle patina of age and use — light scratches and darkening of the niello work — all entirely consistent with a ring that has been genuinely worn and cherished. We recommend a soft cloth for cleaning and care in storage away from moisture.
