Victorian 15ct Gold Regard Ring with Hand Shoulders

486W
Written by Olly Gerrish

A very pretty and unusual 15ct gold ring that was made in Birmingham in 1878. It has been set with the following gemstones. Ruby, Emerald, Garnet, Amethyst, Ruby, Diamond. The first letter of each gemstone spells “Regard” which was a secret message to the receiver of this pretty ring. The message was further accentuated by the flower which is a “Forget me not”. There would have originally been a glazed locket to the reverse that may have held a lock of hair. Often these little compartments are missing due to the glass breaking over the years.  On either side is a hand holding the cluster.

A rare ring to give to someone that you love.
