Russian Thimbles

The Russian Store carries beautiful thimbles that are practical, miniature pieces of art. All of our thimbles were hand-made by skilled artisans in Russia before being sent directly to The Russian Store. Each wooden thimble is carved out of a solid piece of wood. It is then hand-painted with the tiniest brush and gloss-finished by a very skilled artist. From Russian fairytale thimbles to cute kitty thimbles, we have a unique wooden thimble for you!

The Russian Store also has Rostov Finift thimbles. These are the thimbles that are enameled with vibrant colors and adorned with silver-plated copper, otherwise known as German silver. This type of Russian enamel art originated and flourished in Rostov since the 1700s. Today, many people know and love Rostov Finift jewelry, which The Russian Store carries as well.
