Vintage, 18ct Gold Multigem Acrostic, 'ADORE' ring

This is a spectacularly beautiful acrostic ring with big, bright gems spelling out a secret message. Featuring a rose cut diamond, and a cabochon amethyst, ruby, opal and emerald, the first letter of each of these gemstones spell out the word ‘ADORE’.

Set in 18ct gold, these bright gems are lively and in excellent condition. The band is currently a UK size R (US size 81/2) but it could be re-sized. It weighs a very healthy 4g. The 18ct gold band is not hallmarked, probably due to a re-size at some point in the ring's life.

'Acrostic' rings have always been extremely popular and in Victorian times, were used to express a secret romantic message to their loved one spelt out in gemstones. This one let the wearer know that they were 'adored'.

This is a classic, romantic ring in excellent condition.
