Each letter in the alphabet was assigned to a different precious stone, and the so-called "language of gems" emerged. Wear your love's initials, one in each ear, or line up a few studs to spell a word. Note that these earrings are sold SINGLY.

Acrostic jewelry was beloved by the sentimental Victorians. Using precious gems, jewelers concocted all kinds of phrases, including ones with political messages ("REPEAL") and French-made memory rings ("SOUVENIR"). Jeweler Jean-Baptiste Mellerio famously made a "J'adore" ring for Marie Antoinette, and Napolean commissioned acrostic pieces for his beloved Josephine.
