An eye-catching ruby stone is encrusted at the eagle’s center, adding a refined sparkle and symbolic nod to regality. Red Guilloché Enamel The guilloché enamel in a vibrant red shade showcases a delicate, engine-turned pattern beneath translucent enamel—giving it depth, luster, and a luxurious finish. 88 Silver Gilt Construction Marked with “88”, confirming the pre-revolutionary Russian silver standard (near sterling quality). Gilt Finish: A fine layer of gold plating over the silver for added warmth and corrosion resistance. Chain Link & Ribbed Toggling Linked by short chains to toggles shaped in a ribbed design, ensuring both a secure fit and a vintage aesthetic. Suitable for French cuff shirts, formal jackets, or collector’s display. Authentic Hallmarks Bearing Russian silver standard hallmark, maker’s mark, and other official stamps on the reverse side, validating their origin and craftsmanship.

Collector’s Treasure Genuine early 20th-century Russian silver with recognizable “88” hallmark appeals to connoisseurs and history enthusiasts alike. Timeless Statement Whether worn for formal events or displayed as a unique relic, their bold color and iconic symbol complement a range of personal styles. Care & Maintenance Cleaning Gently polish the silver and enamel surfaces with a soft cloth after each wear. Avoid abrasives or harsh chemicals that might affect the enamel or gilt finish. Storage Place in a lined box or soft pouch to protect the enamel from scratches and minimize tarnish on the silver and gold plating.
