After the fall of the Byzantine empire in the 15th century, Russia adopted the Byzantine double headed eagle as its state emblem. Over the following centuries, the state eagle was modified several times, but in the 1910s, the Byzantine eagle was revived in decorative arts.

The ring was made in St. Petersburg by Faberge’s workmaster Vladimir Solovyov.

It is a very finely crafted heavy ring. Weight 12 g. Ring size 13 (inside diameter 22,5 mm).
