I think the meaning behind acrostic jewelry is so beautiful and fascinating.
This is so beautiful
FOR 20 YEARS+ I WORKED IN ENGINEERING FIIRMS. THEN ONE DAY, IT WAS ALL GONE! I LOST MY JOB IN 2017. SPORADIC WORK HERE AND THERE, NOTHING SUBSTANTIAL. AWFUL. YOUR BLOG AND THE WONDERFULBOOK LISTS AND THE GREAT JEWLERY STORIES HAVE KEPT ME FROM GOING UNDER. THE BOREDOM DURING THE FULL PANDEMIC, AND THE JOB LOSS HAD TAKEN A HEAVY, HEAVY TOLL. ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT…MY DEARLY BELOVED SISTER, ONLY ONE THREW ME AWAY. WE WERE CLOSE. VERY CLOSE. HER HUSBAND AND I DO NOT GET ALONG AT ALL. HE IS VERY SELFISH AND CONNIVING. IN 2018, SHE MADE A DEAL WITH HIM THAT HE WOULD NOT DIVORCE HER, IF SHE GAVE ME UP!!! SO OUT I WENT. WE HAVE NOT SPOKEN IN 3.0 YRS. MY HEART IS BROKEN, ETERNALLY. MY 18.3 YR. OLD JACK RUSSELL TERRIER PASSED AWAY @ VALENTINE’S DAY TIME, GAWD AWFUL. ONE WEEK LATER, A 3 YR. OLD RESCUED JACK RUSSELL ARRIVED @ MY DOOR. NO TIME TO GRIEVE, SAMPSON. THROUGOUT ALL OF THIS WITH THE JOB LOSS, SAMPSON LOSS AND SISTER LOSS, I HAVE TRIED TO REMAIN IN CONTROL OF MY LIFE. I BEGAN A 3RD ROMANCE NOVEL. NOTHING PUBLISEHD YET. 3 BOOKS BEGUN.. MY HEROINES ARE SUPER STRONG, BEAUTIFUL AND HAVE A GREAT LOVE FOR SILK CLOTHING AND JEWLERY. THEY ALSO LOVE DOGS ONE DAY I WILL GET A FULL BOOK PUBLISHED. I HAVE BEEN ON WRITING HIATUS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. TIME TO RETURN TO MY BEAUTIFUL CHARACTER AND LOVELY MALE COUNTERPART. HE’S OVER 50 YRS. OLD, DROP DEA GORGEOUS, COMPLICATED, SILVER HAIRED AND SOOOOOO INTENSELY HONEST. HE LOVES DOGS TOO! I HOPE THAT YOU ARE FEELING BETTER AND CAN CONTINUES WITH YOUR BLOGGING. I SO LOVE IT..THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!
This is gorgeous! I’ve always wondered what this was called, now I know!
I love the limited emotional range of “regards” as a message of adoration – it is seer and restrained. Adorable
This ring would be a meaningful treasure to start a collection with after losing my possessions in a house fire last year.
I’m so sorry to hear about your fire. My childhood home was destroyed in a fire – it’s a shocking loss that really hits hard.
Sending some extra love your way.

This is a beautiful ring and the meaning behind the ring is just as lovely!
Antique jewelry is often so unique the colors are beautiful.
Wonderful message with a beautiful ring.
This ring is gorgeous! Love the message behind it
What a lovely ring and giveaway!
Thank you so much for your article on these lovelies. I’ve only recently learned about them and I found you article and now I’m hooked! And thank you for the opportunity to win this amazing ring. I would love to start my collection with this piece and then pass it along to my daughter when she is grown and moves out on her own. She will always know how much she is loved and regarded. ❤️
What a beautiful idea to share the piece with your daughter! Such a lovely sentiment.

The old designs spelling out DEAREST or REGARD are delightful !
I absolutely love this concept : I’m seriously tempted to do this for my nieces and nephews. I haven’t got any kids, so I can play up the role of the extravagant uncle, right?
Bless my family and their preference for 5-letter names, that’s still affordable hahaha
Oooh YES I love the idea of contemporary acrostics that show family names!! Your nieces and nephews are lucky to have you (and not just because of your excellent taste in jewelry).

This ring is so pretty. I still think about a Regard ring I didn’t buy. I saw it at a shop and went home to think about it and when I went back to buy, it was gone. Perhaps there should be a REGRET ring to commemorate all the jewels we didn’t buy.
Ahahah, I love that idea!!! Definitely one that would be useful to many jewelry lovers.
Thanks for entering and good luck!

I have not been able to stop thinking about acrostic jewelry since reading your recent article about it. It definitely ups my “regard” for antique jewelry 🙂
Ahaha I see what you did there! I love a good jewelry pun 😉
well, yes, please! i fancy it something rotten! it’s a beautiful reminder of another time, it’s romantic, it’s SHINY PRETTY. and it would match my daily wardrobe which is basically victorian-edwardian in style.
Isn’t this one SO pretty??? Just a gorgeous example of an iconic style.
Thanks for entering and good luck!

Anything that combines history, art and gemstones is a winning combination. Just like there is a language of flowers, where people sent messages via the flowers they chose, there are variations of message jewelry as well. This is a wonderful example.
Ooh yes! The language of flowers is such a good comparison for the secret messages in acrostic rings. It’s all so romantic and fascinating.
Thanks so much for entering and good luck.
