Unusual Vintage, Art Deco, Platinum, Acrostic 'Dearest' BandThis stunning and rather unusual ring is a rare 1920s acrostic 'DEAREST' ring. Crafted on a 3 mm Platinum band, it features 7 different gemstones (3 of each, except emeralds of which there are 6), comprising diamonds 6 emeralds, amethysts, rubies, sapphire and topaz. The first letter of each of the different gemstones spells out the word, 'DEAREST'. Beautiful engraving appears on both sides of the band, and a little square of platinum is present

but has been machine tested for 18ct Gold

and I would suspect it dates from the 1950s

as its made of 15ct Gold

the band is hallmarked for Chester

it would date it to the Etruscan Revival era

the first letter of each of these gemstones spell out the word ‘ADORE’

This detail continues through to the ring's shoulders which feature shell like decroation

It closes with a spring ring clasp and measures 16 inches

The reverse is plain

The gallery also fetures beautiful swirling shoulders which gives the ring great finger coverage

antique 'Mizpah' ring

the date is no longer visible
