Victorian 15ct Gold Regard Ring with Hand Shoulders

486W
Written by Olly Gerrish

A very pretty and unusual gold ring that was made in Birmingham in 1878. It has been set with the following gemstones. , , , , Ruby, . 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.
