This gorgeous 18k gold Georgian era acrostic ring is so special. If you are unfamiliar with acrostic jewelry, it uses gemstones to spell out a word, most commonly REGARD and ADORE.⁣⁣Ruby, Emerald, Garnet, Amethyst, Ruby, Diamond = REGARD⁣⁣These pieces became popular in the Georgian era (c. 1714-1837), and this piece likely dates from the late Georgian period, around the 1820s-30s.⁣⁣It is unmarked but tests for at least 18k gold. The stones I believe are paste, but the diamond is real. ⁣+++ Measurements +++Size 8. 25+++ Condition +++Although the stones are quite worn, the ring is in very good condition overall and wearable with care. It is an incredibly special piece and I find the worn stones to be very charming--a sign that this was a well-loved and cherished piece of jewelry.⁣
