Victorian 15ct Gold Acrostic Ring that spells Regret

126T
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

The mind boggles. Was this ring given as a broken engagement or was it made for a loved one who had died?  The gemstones spell out “regret”.  Each first letter gives us the clue.  Ruby Emerald Garnet Ruby Emerald Topaz. The 15ct gold shank is a decorative repoussé design that is typical of the 1820-1830 period. It would be a shame to resize this ring as the repoussé design continues around the shank. A special and rare ring for a collector.

Ollys Pick

I have never had an acrostic ring that spells “Regret” before, such a rare ring and in great condition.
