Quintessentially English, replete with meaning, this acrostic REGARD ring has survived since the middle of the 1800s.

This is a ring where the first letter of the gemstone names spells out a word. Making it one of the most sought-after types of sentimental jewelry from the Romantic era of the Victorian span of years.

In this example, Regard, spelled out from the gemstones Ruby, Emerald, Garnet, Amethyst, Ruby, and Diamond.

Their wearability and collectibility mean that many have been reproduced, or their gemstones altered to resemble an acrostic jewel.

Note the characteristically English engraved and patterned shoulders and shank. A treasure to find with the gemstones intact and in good to fine condition!
