18ct Gold Acrostic Ring that Spells Dearest

357T
280 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A pretty 18ct gold acrostic ring.   Acrostic jewellery is believed to have originated in France in the early 1800s before being adopted in England.  In the Georgian and Victorian period secret messages and symbols were very popular as a way of expressing feelings.   The first letter of each stone in this ring spells “Dearest”   DiamondEmeraldAmethystRuby, Emerald, Sapphire and Tourmaline.   This is a later take of this charming custom.
