An acrostic Edwardian Albert chain in rolled gold, with T-bar at front, and Victorian/Edwardian watchkey charms with gemstones, where the first letter of each gemstone spells out DEAREST. 
Acrostic jewellery reportedly dates back to the days of Marie Antoinette, and Napoleon Bonaparte had some very famous acrostic pieces that commemorated events. They reached the height of their popularity under the reign of Queen Victoria, who wore acrostic jewellery spelling out names or secret messages, and was a huge influence on the jewellery and fashions of her time. 
This chain uses the following gemstones to spell out DEAREST:
Diamond (Herkimer)
Emerald
Amethyst
Ruby
Emerald
Sapphire
Topaz
The chain closes with 2 Albert clasps, and a shorter length of Edwardian rolled gold belcher chain between the clasps, enabling the chain to be worn longer if required. 
A one of a kind piece with a story to tell, or the perfect gift for someone you hold dear.
