I''ll give it a try. I think it''s Victorian. The letters in the word (regards) were also the type of stones used - ruby, emerald, diamond, amethyst, ruby, garnet(?), sapphire. I believe there are other popular words that were used as well.
I love old jewelery and this is fun! Give us another!

Winner!!!
The invisible setting technique was developed in France more than two centuries ago. Grooves in each stone''s girdle slip into a metal framework below the surface, but the metal cannot be seen, so stones sit side-by-side, creating a solid surface of gems...so you know i borrowed this explanation from about.com for ease of explination....but it leads to my next quiz question...what famous jewelry company is famous for using the invisible look in their floral jewelry.....
Harriet...im impressed...im not going to my books for your question...i think its either bouchron or Chamet...but not exact...
Jet and onyx are two that are worn while in mourning...so partly right...hint....the colors after black are grey and then lavender or purple....
