TSARIST IMPERIAL FINGER RING (Item RUSO 2-1) |
||||
| DESCRIPTION: This very handsome ring is one of those that came to be known as the "Tsarist Patriots' Ring," after the criminal Bolshevik hordes took over Holy Mother Russia and murdered the Tsar and his family. Many of the noble aristocratic people left for England, Spain, and especially, Germany. Some of those who fled were artists and jewelers such as Fabergé! They often set up shops in Berlin, Munich, and other German cities. One of the artistic endeavors was to create jewelry that showed solidarity and belief with the tenants of Romanov dynasty, Russia; therefore, this particular ring came to exist. They were crafted both in silver and gold and most had the Imperial double-headed eagle on the blue enamel field (blue was the Romanov color). The one we offer here is in silver and has the mark of some maker (unidentified) is found on the outside of the ring shank. The ring has beautiful designs on the sides that represent a sprig of acacia, the immortal bush! This is quite significant in that the hopes for restoration of the monarchy also sprung eternal in the hearts of these patriots. The acacia was a symbol of resurrection and eternal life to the Christians, but also to the Egyptians, Greeks, and is part of the Masonic ritual. These rings are a wonderful memento of the Tsarist world of refinement and beauty.

Old, Silver, Russian Finger Ring (Item RUSO 5-17) |
|
DESCRIPTION: This is a little, silver ring with the Tsarist Romanov eagle cut out in special pattern and delicately done. Under magnification, you can see how truly old it is because the image of St. George and the Dragon is barely there in the double-headed eagle’s chest and the state crests of the Russian provinces are just about discernible. The ring is in a small size (about a six). It probably dates back to the 1700s. Inside there is the clear mark “89” that indicates the purity of the silver. This numeral generally was used by jewelers in St. Petersburg. This nice, little bauble is a true keepsake of the time of Russian majesty and glory before the forces of Hell overtook the Russian motherland. It is my considered opinion that President Vladimir Putin is trying to restore it once more to that glorious empire of the Tsars even though Hell should bar the way!
