627 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A charming late Georgian 18ct gold ring that was made circa 1830. It has been set with an oval bloodstone that has been engraved with an intaglio of a bird carrying an envelope. The lettering spells in French “depechez vous” literally meaning “Hurry up”. A message of love from the bearer.
