Warmest Regards…

One of my favorite stupid curiosities about history is the REGARDS ring. This was apparently a very popular model of engagement ring to give in the Victorian era.

It’s a ring with these jewels across it in this order: Ruby, Emerald, Garnet, Amethyst, Ruby, Diamond, Sapphire.

It spells “regards.” As in “I regards you, darling, will you marry me?”

Ruby-Emerald-Garnet-Amethyst-Ruby-Diamond-Sapphire?
More like Ruby-Emerald-TOPAZ-Amethyst-Ruby-Diamond-Sapphire!

I am proud to say that I have wasted our 100th blog post on this.

Dances with Wolfshirts, though. I mean it. Come and see our show, because it’s shaping up really nicely. Reserve for it here. 8 performances, so there’s no excuse.
