The Story

The Victorian (1837-1901) do love their secret code jewelry. Typical "regard" rings of the time used gemstone initials to spell out a hidden message. Each stone represented a letter in the word "regard." Ruby, Emerald, Garnet, Amethyst, Ruby, and Diamond were arranged to spell out the word, symbolizing affection or romance. However, this regard ring was for wearing one's heart on their sleeve! Rendered in beautiful black and light blue enamel, this ring instead spells out regard clearly, with a striking Old Mine Cut Diamond featured in a combination starburst bezel. The ring is in excellent condition for its age, and even features the original makers mark and engraving - talk about love standing the test of time!
