Rings and signet rings were worn much more often in the old days than they are today. The girl put on a thin ring on her left hand, the woman wore large, noticeable rings on her right, and when she became an old woman, she passed the jewelry as a sign of vitality to her heiress. Lattice rings are one of the most famous finds of antique jewelry. Such jewelry was worn in the XII-XIII centuries.

Men also wore rings. In the old days, men's rings were even larger, more noticeable than women's. Here are the ancient Slavic amulets, the photos of which are below. Here are the rings "with thorns". The spikes are of course rounded, safe to wear. Sometimes they fold into a cross-like pattern.

Antique Slavic amulets for a festive ceremony: mermaid bracelets
Who has not heard about the mermaid bracelets? They are also called Novgorod bracelets. It was in Novgorod that the masters made these amazing jewelry best of all. Each such bracelet has a whole story with plots from holiday festivities. The beauty is such that you want to repeat it, wear it today: not only on holidays, but on ordinary days. Craftsmen, inspired by magical patterns, make with them not only bracelets, but also rings.

Traditional bracelets are also made, of course. And solid with a molded pattern, and airy-carved.
Male and female old amulets: photo pendants
We know that nowadays people often choose pendants as a talisman, rather than rings and bracelets. There were such things in the old days. Pendants were rarely worn as they are now on a chain. They were strung into necklaces and beads, worn on a belt. One of the best jewelry for women is the Lunnitsa pendant. There were many types of them in ancient times: two-horned, three-horned and even rounded. Lunnitsy were often decorated with grains - small metal balls. Moreover, stripes-notches were applied on them, certainly 28 pieces, according to the number of lunar days.

Men wore military amulets in the form of weapons. For example, these are the hatchets. Here the master even repeated the pattern of the circles on the pendant.

Ancient amulets of the Russian North
The Russian North also had its own adornments that were not found in other places. Our craftsmen were especially famous for bone carving. They cut out pendants and earrings, combs, small boxes and even jewelry for furniture. Often the bone was painted to better show the work of the master, to emphasize its beauty.
The photograph from the museum shows rich, painted bone earrings. And in our shop we have simpler earrings, these were worn by our women in old times.

We think that those amulets that are inspired by our ancient culture, but do not repeat ancient jewelry exactly, are no less good. Yes, then it's up to you - everyone can choose among the jewelry what he likes!
