About this piece
This is a beautifully crafted Soviet ring from the 1960s, hallmarked with the iconic five-pointed star assay mark and stamped 916 silver — a fineness standard used across the USSR. The sculptural leaf face is deeply textured with fine veins, catching light along its surface, and sits sideways on a slender, unadorned band. The minimalist Modernist design is characteristic of Soviet jewellery-making: functional elegance without embellishment, letting the natural form and the silversmith’s hand-work speak.
In UK size M½ (US 6.5), it sits comfortably as an everyday ring. The wear visible on the band and surface is gentle and consistent with six decades of life; the metal shows a soft patina rather than damage. This is an excellent example of mid-century Soviet metalcraft — honest, understated, and built to last. A simple polish will restore brightness if desired; store away from moisture to preserve the silver.
