My thoughts exactly.
a new picture! what do you think?
In the editor’s letter of the February issue of Lucky, Kim France mentions a few Valentine’s Day gift ideas, including something called a regard ring. Regard stands for ruby, emerald, garnet, amethyst, ruby, diamond, and France says that in Victorian times, rings with stones in that order were like friendship rings. I was really intrigued by this concept and tried to find out more about these rings.
According to Wikipedia and a couple other not-so-reliable looking websites, it’s actually called a regards ring — apparently Lucky left off the sapphire at the end of the sequence — and they were Victorian engagement rings. It seems it was also common to spell out “dearest” (diamond, emerald, amethyst, ruby, emerald, sapphire, topaz), “love” (lapis lazuli, opal, vermarine, emerald), or the woman’s name, provided it wasn’t too long.
This reminds me a little of the trend of wearing jewelry set with kids’ birthstones that cropped up a while ago among mothers, but I might like the regards ring better. It has such a cool, though not very well-documented, history, and I think a thin ring with teeny tiny stones would make a really special, delicate wedding or engagement ring.
