An original necklace made with an Edwardian rolled gold Albert chain circa 1910, with added natural gemstones to spell out the word 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
Turquoise
The chain closes with an Albert clip at the back, and features a t-bar drop at the front. 
A one of a kind piece with a story to tell, or the perfect gift for someone you hold dear.
