Marie Antoinette's jeweler, Jean-Baptiste Mellerio, kicked off the acrostic jewelry trend by using gemstones to spell out "J'ADORE", and the French court went wild. Napoleon Bonaparte famously commissioned acrostic jewels for himself, Josephine, and other family members. In the Victorian era, "REGARD" and "ADORE" were popular sparkly sentiments, but more personal - and even sexy - terms of endearment were sometimes specially made. Later in history political views were expressed through the language of gems: "REPEAL" and "SUFFRAGE" pieces are extremely rare and collectible.
