Protective signet ring bearing the words ‘Save and Protect’ with grape vines.

Jewelry, like any expensive items, requires careful handling and certain care. Special attention should be paid to the appearance of jewelry in hot and humid climates. It is also necessary to protect jewelry from getting perfumes and cosmetics on them.

Since ancient times, the ring, a vicious circle, has been perceived as a symbol of unity, infinity and wholeness. The tradition of wearing rings came to Russia from Byzantium along with Christianity. The word "ring" itself comes from the Old Slavonic "kolo" – circle, wheel, one of the oldest images of eternity. Already in the first centuries, Christians wore rings and rings as special signs of their belonging to the Church, placing brief confessions of faith on them. For example, on early Christian gems one could find a fish (Greek: IΧΘΥΣ — "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior"), an anchor – a symbol of hope for salvation, a ship as an allegory about the Church, or the monogram of Christ - Chrysome.

The jewelry collection "Vladimir Mikhailov" is made in precious metals, characterized by a noble, restrained color sound – platinum, white and green gold. At the same time, the main material of the collection is green gold, a type of gold alloy of 585 samples, characterized by its soft color shade and high content of precious metals. This alloy is known primarily as the most stable natural compound of native gold and silver. It is silver that gives the alloy a soft olive hue, muffling the yellow tones of gold and the red sound of copper.

In Christian art, the vine is one of the most ancient and capacious images. Its history goes back to the first centuries, when believers who gathered in the Roman catacombs decorated the walls of underground temples with images of a sacred vessel from which doves symbolized saved souls took communion. In these paintings, grape shoots were not just a decoration, but reminded of the sacrament of the Eucharist and the inseparable connection of man with God.
