About this piece
A slim sterling silver band inscribed in Church Slavonic with “СВЯТАЯ БОГОРОДИЦЕ” — “Holy Theotokos” (Mother of God) — a traditional Orthodox Christian devotional piece. The letters are raised in relief and have acquired a subtle darkened patina that makes them stand out crisply against the polished silver. The band sits comfortably as a UK size R (US 8.5), with a plain, slightly rounded profile suited to daily wear or stacking.
The ring bears the hallmark “S925”, indicating sterling silver. Patina and fine scratches across the band are consistent with genuine age and regular use; the inscription remains clear and legible. This is the work of a Russian craftsman, likely mid-twentieth century, made for personal devotion or as a family keepsake. A simple care: occasional gentle cleaning with a soft cloth will restore lustre, and jeweller’s silver dip or a little warm soapy water will refresh the patina if desired, though many collectors prefer to leave such patina undisturbed.
