About this piece

This distinctive silver ring carries the inscription “Save and Protect” in Old Church Slavonic, a spiritual phrase deeply rooted in Orthodox tradition. The band is finely worked with linear detailing and widens to a substantial rectangular bezel, which frames a faceted crystal stone that catches the light beautifully. The stone appears to be a cubic zirconia or similar crystal simulant, set in a raised mount and angled slightly for visual impact.

In UK size V, the ring sits comfortably on the hand with presence without bulk. Notably, it features a continuous cut running through the band — a practical feature common in vintage jewellery that allows the wearer to adjust the fit slightly by opening or closing the gap, making it adaptable across a range of finger sizes. The silver shows honest surface wear consistent with vintage use, and the patina gives it authentic character. The construction and detailing suggest Soviet-era craftsmanship, typical of jewellery made in Eastern European traditions where such protective inscriptions held genuine significance.
