{"product_id":"victorian-15ct-gold-regard-ring","title":"Victorian 15ct Gold REGARD Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is something wonderfully romantic about a REGARD ring. Popular throughout the nineteenth century, these sentimental jewels used the first letter of each gemstone to spell a hidden message. In this case, Ruby, Emerald, Garnet, Amethyst, Ruby and Diamond combine to spell the word \"REGARD\". It is a token of affection, admiration and enduring love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough dating from the 1870s, this ring looks back to an earlier age. Its design is heavily inspired by the colourful closed-back gemstone rings of the Regency and early nineteenth century, with decorative gold detailing and a rich combination of gemstones creating a jewel that feels both vibrant and deeply romantic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is set and hallmarked in 15ct gold, a uniquely British standard introduced in 1854, the ring retains its closed-back settings, a feature that had largely disappeared from fashionable jewellery by the late Victorian period. The gemstones glow beautifully within their settings, creating the rich colours so admired by nineteenth-century jewellers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe diamond appears to be a later replacement, almost certainly fitted during the ring's long lifetime. Rather than detracting from the piece, it serves as a reminder that treasured jewels were worn, loved and cared for by successive generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA charming and highly collectable example of Victorian sentimental jewellery, carrying both a hidden message and a fascinating nod to the designs of an earlier era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parkin and Gerrish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57241810960757,"sku":"161M","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3428\/6475\/files\/victorian-15ct-gold-regard-ring-7179552.jpg?v=1780478183","url":"https:\/\/parkinandgerrish.com\/ja\/products\/victorian-15ct-gold-regard-ring","provider":"Parkin and Gerrish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
