Called the Language of Stones, acrostic jewelry places gemstones in specific orders in order to spell out words. In acrostic jewelry, the first letter of each gemstone in a design is used to spell out a word. For example, a necklace with a diamond, emerald, amethyst, and ruby would spell out “dear.” Traditionally used to send messages of love or endearment, acrostic jewelry pieces are precious secrets known only to the wearer and the giver.
