Note: Rings bearing the cypher of the Sovereign had been given as personal gifts by Russian monarchs since the late eighteenth century, but their use became more frequent during the nineteenth, when the circumstances surrounding their presentation became codified under the reign of Emperor Nicholas I. While a ring might be presented at any time by the Emperor for services rendered or as a sign of personal favor, extravagant rings of this type were only granted according to the meeting of stringent requirements due to honorable length of service in the Army, the Civil service, or at Court. 


This ring, of prodigious size, was executed by Michael Perchin for Fabergé, and is unique in its form and in the opulent diamond encrusted ornamentation of its design.
