Ring - 14 kt. Rose gold Amethyst

Are you looking for a piece of jewelry with a fascinating history and a unique, regal aesthetic? This beautiful vintage gold ring is an authentic piece of history from the Soviet Union (USSR).

The shoulders of the ring are masterfully open-worked with a refined filigree and scroll pattern, giving the ring an elegant yet powerful appearance. The exterior of the ring contains a wealth of official, historic hallmarks. In the rectangular hallmark window sits the five-pointed star with hammer and sickle, combined with the content 583. This number stands for the famed Soviet 14-karat gold (58.3% pure gold), which due to the specific addition of copper has the characteristic warm red-gold (rose) glow.

Additionally, the ring in the flag-shaped stamp bears the coded master mark .3СЮ.
