About this piece

A slender silver band, inscribed with the Russian protective prayer “Спаси и сохрани” — “Save and Protect” — a timeless invocation worn for spiritual safeguarding. The lettering is deeply stamped around the band, creating a tactile quality that catches the light. This is a classic form of devotional jewellery, historically popular across Orthodox Christian communities, where such rings served as personal talismans and expressions of faith.

In UK size O, the band sits comfortably as an everyday ring. The silver shows honest, light wear consistent with regular wear over many years, with a soft patina that adds to its authentic character. The construction is straightforward and durable — ideal for a ring intended to be worn constantly. A gentle polish with a soft cloth will restore brightness; warm soapy water is all that is needed for routine cleaning.
