Unusual jewelry from the USSR


If you like vintage jewelry and bijouterie, you can replenish your box with Soviet-era gold. Our citizens have a lot of gold left from those times, and they periodically resell it. In the near future, there are all the prerequisites for the growth of gold in price, so buying jewelry can be a very profitable investment, and not just a waste of money. One should not expect serious growth from silver, but it is available to everyone. Let's choose something unusual and interesting ...

When evaluating the design of jewelry, you can go in different ways. The first is to consider the most luxurious and expensive items that are not available to most. The second option is to find jewelry at an affordable price so that they stand out from the crowd. Today we will try to go the second way, because we want not only to look at products from the diamond fund, but also to have the opportunity to buy something.

Most of the jewelry of the Soviet era does not differ in original design. Most often, there are rings and earrings with one central red or pink stone. In the USSR, the entire emphasis is placed on the brilliance and radiance of the stone, and the metal, as if they did not attach much importance. Considering that it was almost always used artificial alexandrite, the decorations are monotonous and even boring.

Although, if you wish, you can find unusual and at the same time beautiful earrings, rings and other products made of gold and silver, where the design is based on a different approach.

In the Soviet Union, jewelers experienced many difficulties in terms of freedom of creativity, enterprises had a plan, and independent work threatened to be accused of unearned income. Therefore, a rare jeweler had the opportunity to embody his creative fantasies in precious metals.

From a young age I managed to come into contact with a huge number of jewelry. Most of the jewelry is Soviet gold. Based on the accumulated experience, I have selected the most interesting vintage jewelry of the Soviet era from the category of available ones. The price from 2,000 to 50,000 rubles makes them especially interesting. Buying such jewelry, you can be sure that it will not be easy to find a second one.

In addition to affordable jewelry in the USSR, there was a small market for luxury jewelry for especially honored citizens, such jewelry cost very different money, but the work is much more exquisite. There will be another publication on this topic.

    The assortment of jewelry in the USSR was not as large as it is today. Very original options came across from time to time. I got earrings in the form of a drop with an ornament along the edges and flowers inside at a pawnshop. Here they are fifth from the bottom. I am 54 years old, nostalgia for that time struck, and I could not resist. Look great with different outfits, I wear it every day. The price didn’t bite and I’m still happy to buy.

    It is a pity that they did not remember about the Soviet platinum. But how many jewelry were made of platinum! And on all products there was an insert marking: artificial stone or natural. Not like now. But in antiques one could find pre-revolutionary items at a reasonable price ...

      Thanks for the advice. Only with platinum is a little more complicated, not many items can be found. Here is a link to a new publication about our platinum https://mystylex.techinfus.com/en/4379-platinum.html
