About this piece
A handsome domed band ring from the Soviet era, crafted in 925 sterling silver with the characteristic hallmark of USSR production. The raised paisley or “Turkish cucumber” motifs form an elegant, rhythmic pattern across the face, worked against a fine textured ground. The dome gives it substantial presence on the hand — in UK size Q, it sits with quiet confidence and weight.
The silver carries its period patina beautifully; honest wear and a small nick on the inner edge are visible, testament to years of authentic use. Soviet craftspeople were skilled in applied ornament, and this band shows careful finishing and hand-worked detail. We recommend storing it in a soft cloth or zip pouch to slow further tarnish; gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and a silver dip (sparingly) will revive lustre without harming the textured surface.
