Victorian Multi-Gem Regard Ring

A sweet and evocative early Victorian acrostic ring, meaning that the stones spell out a message. These rings were typically given to one€™s sweetheart in the 19th century and have a lovely romantic connotation. This ring spells €˜REGARD€™, a popular acrostic message of the time. The floral gold details of the ring€™s setting are emblematic of the late Georgian and early Victorian period when designs were more detailed and featured foliate motifs. Joanna Hardy says: €œA charming ring. This is what I would call a good €˜starter ring€™ for someone who wants to start collecting antique jewellery. It is made around 1840 and during this time sending messages by using the first letter of a gemstone was all the rage €“ early text messaging! This ring spells REGARD: ruby, emerald, garnet, amethyst, ruby and diamond.”
