An enchanting antique Victorian acrostic ring, circa 1900s, crafted in 18K yellow gold and set with a sequence of gemstones—Amethyst, Diamond, Opal, Ruby, and Emerald—spelling out the word ADORE. The stones are mounted in an ornate scrollwork setting, a decorative detail typical of the era.
Acrostic rings were cherished tokens of love and devotion in the 19th century, their hidden messages spelled out through carefully chosen gemstones. Beyond the acrostic sentiment, each stone carried its own symbolism—diamond for eternal love, ruby for passion and desire, opal for hope and imagination, emerald for rebirth, wisdom and harmony, and amethyst for devotion and clarity.
Vibrant and full of sparkle, this piece is a beautiful marriage of sentiment, symbolism, and Victorian craftsmanship.
