Rings that Soviet fashionistas will not exchange for any diamonds

Years pass, generations change, history goes on as usual. Jewelry is something that stays with us for a long time. I have to admit that fashion is changing for them. Old rings They are no longer as desirable as they once were.



But they keep that joyful element of nostalgia and pleasant memories, which is difficult for modern young people to understand. Why don’t we remember what the ornaments of the past were that adorned the hands of a few fashionistas from a country that no longer exists?

In appearance, the design of this ring resembles a clasp from an old wallet. Do you remember those were fashionable for women? In fact, the two spherical ornaments are a pair that has frozen forever in an endless kiss. No matter what material the ring is made of, the highlight is the appearance of the ring.

Modern analogues have slightly changed the design. For example, there was a vertical jumper that combines all the rings at once. On the one hand, this gives the ring a freshness, and on the other, it takes away the variability of wearing: now it is a ring for only one finger. There may still be inclusions of precious stones, although such jewelry was not used before. Materials can again be more expensive.

Even in the past, these rings were highly valued. The most popular materials were silver or gold. Accordingly, their high cost did not allow them to flaunt the fingers of people with low income, the pocket “snake” was only wealthy ladies.
