This is an incredible antique acrostic, 'DEAREST' ring from the Victorian era. Its multigem petals feature 7 gems, the first letter of each which spell out the word, DEAREST; These gems comprise a central diamond, 2 emeralds, an amethyst, a ruby, a sapphire and a topaz.

The gems sit around the central diamond like petals and give this ring its unique romantic quality. The ring's shoulders have stunning ornate floral engravings which frame the finger beautifully when the ring is worn.

Currently a UK size M 1/2, or US size 6 1/2, the ring could be re-sized within reason. It weighs 2.54g.

This antique acrostic ring would have been given to a loved one as a token of affection, and to demonstrate that the giver held them as their 'dearest'.

This ring is old and fragile. The stones are no longer held in by claws, but been secured with glue, so it would need to be kept dry and worn on special occasions, rather than for every day wear.  I have taken this into consideration when pricing this ring.
