Here, a Ruby, Emerald, Garnet, Amethyst, Ruby and Diamond spell \"REGARD\" (a word of endearment meaning both love and esteem, super-popular in the 19th century.) Somewhat unusually, the stones are set deeply into the gold, using a rub-over technique called \u003cem\u003eburnishing\u003c\/em\u003e to secure them flush to the band. It's a sleek alternative to raised prongs or bezels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMATERIALS: 14k gold (tests), 1.5mm ruby, 1.7mm emerald, 2.7mm garnet, 3mm amethyst, 1.7mm ruby, 1.3mm diamond\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAGE: c. 1880\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Very good - mark on the back of the shank from a previous resizing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZE: 8.25, can be slightly resized; 5mm head, 1.8mm shank\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53081660981530,"sku":"R3522","price":3600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0156\/5502\/files\/R3522-1.jpg?v=1792453004","url":"https:\/\/checkout.ericaweiner.com\/products\/victorian-burnish-set-gemstones-acrostic-regard-ring","provider":"Erica Weiner LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
