Acrostic Jewellery

Popular in the Georgian and Victorian eras, acrostic jewellery uses the first letter of each gemstone to convey a secret message or a token of affection.

First created by Jean-Baptiste Mellerio, he designed pieces that spelled 'J'adore'. The most popular messages, regard, beloved and dear began in the Georgian era and flourished throughout the Victorian period. I think a truly romantic trend such as this should still be popular today!
