2000s Ukrainian Trinity Wedding Ring jabot pin In 1758 the Viennese goldsmithDATE: Contemporary, 2004 I'd been trying for a while now to decipher the hallmark on this trinity wedding ring (aka Russian wedding ring) with little success so bought a new book*, and, low and behold, they're not Russian at all. Rather, they're Ukrainian. The Cyrillic maker's mark and layout of the hallmarks was pointing me towards Russia, but turns out this is the national symbol of Ukraine the Trident Arms (sometimes referred to as a diving hawk).
