1900s Russian Silver Turquoise Bangle

Dating to the early 20th century, this Russian silver bangle features a continuous row of vivid turquoise cabochons set within finely worked silver borders, framed by engraved geometric detailing characteristic of late Imperial Russian design. The disciplined symmetry and clean linear composition reflect the period's refined restraint.

The interior bears the inscription “Protect and Preserve,” a sentiment deeply aligned with turquoise’s long-standing symbolism as a stone of protection, safeguarding, and well-being. Such inscriptions were often intended as talismanic reminders — lending the piece both personal and symbolic significance.

A beautifully preserved example of early 1900s Russian silver craftsmanship, notable for its saturated turquoise color, precise stone setting, and meaningful engraved motto — highly collectible for both its aesthetic clarity and symbolic intent.
