Ring Regard, or Precious Acrostic

An acrostic is most often a poem constructed in such a way that the column of the first letters of the poem creates a new word, hidden from the uninitiated reader and often goes unnoticed. The acrostic was used in jewelry because jewelry has always been accompanied by feelings and secrets.

Rings like the one in the picture above were made in the first half of the XNUMXth century. They were adorned with colored gems in the correct order: ruby, emerald, garnet, amethyst, ruby ​​again, and a diamond on the blanket. The first letters of the names of the stones formed the word "" (respect, attention, favor). Such a message was perfectly recognizable at that time, everyone knew what it was about, although it was just colored stones arranged in the correct order.

After some time, probably when the very presence of such a set of stones in the ring became recognizable, designers got more freedom in creating new designs. The obligation to arrange stones in a line to resemble a word lost its meaning, and stones began to be arranged in a circle to match the shape of a flower.

he was not the only acrostic to use the names of gems. You can find gems with gems arranged to form other words, such as "" (most expensive/s) or "" (adore, worship, idolize). I think you could revisit the acrostic theme by choosing an engagement ring, it doesn't always have to be a diamond ring. And this is just one.
