A Jewish wedding ring in the form of a silver rectangular box on a ring, with a miniature of a building attached to its lid. The building has four towers and a courtyard covered by a hipped roof, accessed by a gate topped with a Star of David. During the wedding ceremony, the groom put it on the bride's right index finger, saying: "Be consecrated to me with this ring according to the law of Moses and Israel". Images of stately buildings on Jewish wedding rings usually referred to the destroyed Temple in Jerusalem, which should always be remembered, even during joyful occasions. There are two hallmarks on the ring: Russian letters "Г.К" ("ge" and "ka") in a rectangular field and a silver hallmark "84" in a rectangular field.

The item was purchased for the collection of the Lublin Open Air Village Museum in 2009 from "Galeria Antyków" in Łódź.
