Acrostic jewellery gained popularity in the early 19th century as a poetic form of sentimental expression. Each letter of a word—often a term of endearment—is represented by a gemstone whose initial corresponds to that letter, creating a coded message. This style flourished during the Victorian era, symbolising affection and personal connection. Acrostic pieces like rings and brooches remain prized for their unique blend of craftsmanship and intimate storytelling.
