Russian Cross coin ring

Russian Cross coin ring

Russian Orthodox cross ring – handmade and recycled silver 100 year old silver 50 Kopek coin

The top bar symbolizes the sign that was hung above the head of Christ, it was written: “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews”.  The lower bar is the foot-rest. According to the Russian Orthodox tradition the feet are depicted as being nailed not at one point but individually at the two sides of the footrest.  The slanted line reminds us of the two thieves on both sides of the cross. One of them to the right of Christ ascended to Heaven, while the other one sank to Hell. Thus bottom bar of the cross is like the scale of justice and its points show the way to the Hell and Heaven.  Other names for the symbol include the Russian cross, and Slavonic or Suppedaneum cross.

I lovingly craft each Russian orthodox cross ring from a 100 year old silver 50 Kopek coin.  The coins themselves are the perfect medium for this beautiful design, inline with a love of nature using these coins is the perfect ethical and green solution. No new silver is destructively ‘mined’ and old, uncollectible pure silver coins are saved from the ‘melting pot’ of bullion merchants. This protects the history and ensures their stories live on.  The silver coin is a reminder that money changers continue their struggle with worldly passions.  Debasing actual money and replacing it with fiat.

The 50 Kopek копейка coin is a beautiful coin in its own right, the Cyrillic script is bold and the 100 year old silver coin was obviously minted with purpose and precision.  The edge of the coin reads ” ЧИСТОГО СЕРЕБРА 9 ГРАММ” which translates to PURE SILVER 9 GRAM.  In Russian “PURE” is pronounced “CHISTOGO” which for our ears is beautiful and truth.

The legend around the coin band reads “ПРОЛЕТАРИИ ВСЕХ СТРАН, СОЕДИНЯИТЕСЬ! СС СР ОДИН ПОЛТИННИК”. which translates to “PROLETARIANS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE! SS SR Fifty”.  It is between this legend I have lovingly carved using traditional hand tools and techniques the Russian Eastern Orthodox cross symbol.  It sits beautifully as the focal point of the ring.
