About this piece
A substantial signet ring of genuine Soviet craftsmanship, hallmarked in 875 silver with the characteristic star punch of the USSR. The oval face bears a hand-engraved flower rosette — a traditional motif — set deep against glossy black niello, whilst both shoulders carry delicate foliate panels in the same technique. This is the classical Caucasian (Kubachi-style) approach: careful engraving combined with niello inlay to create lasting contrast and depth.
In UK size M, the ring sits solidly on the hand and suits either men or women. The silver shows the soft, lived-in patina you’d expect of a Soviet-era piece, and the niello remains intact and lustrous. The construction is confident and even — a mark of skilled hand work from a tradition that valued durability and beauty in equal measure. Care is simple: warm soapy water, gentle drying, and occasional light polishing will keep the silver and niello in good order for years to come.
