Ring size Y, “Save and Protect” inscription in Old Church Slavonic, silver, vintage piece.

About this piece

A substantial silver band bearing the devotional inscription Спаси и Сохрани — “Save and Protect” — rendered in Old Church Slavonic script. The lettering runs around the outer face of the ring, deeply stamped and crisp. The band itself is gently curved, tapering slightly toward the edges, with a warm lived-in patina that speaks to regular wear over many years.

In UK size Y, this is a generous men’s or statement ring. The silver shows honest surface wear and darkening consistent with age and use, yet the inscription remains sharp and legible. Such protective inscriptions were common in Russian and Orthodox traditions, worn as spiritual safeguards. The construction is straightforward and durable — hallmarks of Soviet-era craftsmanship. A piece with genuine character and clear purpose. We recommend gentle polishing with a soft cloth to refresh the silver if desired; avoid harsh chemicals that might blur the patina.
