This is an adorable Acrostic 'REGARD' ring from the mid-Victorian era.  Its multigem petals feature a  diamond, surrounded by 2 rubies, an emerald, a garnet, and an amethyst; The first letter of each precious gemstone spells out the word, 'REGARD'. 

The gems sit around the central old cut diamond like petals and give this ring its unique romantic quality.  The petals are surrounded by wonderful gold bead detail.   This detail continues through to the ring's shoulders and then down to a beautiful 15ct gold band. The band itself is very small at just a UK size H 1/2, which is a US 4, but it could be made larger by your own local jeweller.  

This style of antique ring would have been given to a loved one as a token of affection, and to demonstrate that the giver held them in high 'regard'.
