18ct Yellow-Gold Dearest Ring RA00669.
The Victorian’s were typically romantic, sentimental and liked to give meaningful gifts such as this 18ct Yellow-Gold Dearest Ring to there loved ones. One of the most sentimental types of jewellery to come out of this era were the acrostic rings.IE dear · precious · adored · loved · beloved · much loved · favourite · cherished · treasured · prized · esteemed · worshipped · idolized ETC. These were rings that used the initials of gemstones to represent letters. Put together, the gemstones would spell a word like regards, dearest or adore. These were basically little love letters full of passion and love.
A dearest ring was the perfect way to tell someone that they were loved. It was given as a token of love and its valuable gemstones and precious metals made a passionate statement. Interestingly, Dearest rings were not typically given as engagement rings.
These stones were often set in a straight line or in a circular flower like pattern, with the diamond in the middle.
The dearest ring is still very popular today and are an excellent way to add some colour to jewellery while sending a meaningful message in the ring design.
In the past, trends in jewellery and accessories were not just influenced by fashion but also by notable aristocrats, including members of the royal family.
Acrostic jewellery such as this 18ct Yellow-Gold Dearest Ring rose in popularity in the 1820s and 1830s. Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837 during what is now considered the Romantic Era. The Victorians are well known for their love of romance and symbolism, so it is no surprise that people were drawn to this acrostic jewellery trend.
There are no set rules as to what design the gemstones should be set, as long as the diamond and coloured gemstones are in the correct order to spell out ‘Dearest’. You may choose to have your gemstones set in a circular pattern or in a straight line or perhaps set into a beautiful engraved pattern. So if you are after a ring that has lots of colour, is a little unusual and has a lovely romantic sentiment, then this is possibly the perfect ring for you!
