Hopelessly romantic, Victorians (and Edwardians) were not shy about sharing their feelings, and the clever jewelers of the day were happy to help them do so. While love notes were a sweet way to convey sentiment, a wearable expression was even better--especially one created with sparkling, bright gems. Enter acrostic jewelry. Its origins credited to Parisian jeweler, Jean-Baptiste Mellerio, these pieces used the first letter of each gem to spell out a word and were highly popular during the Victorian era. This sleek brooch, crafted in gleaming, velvety 14K gold, circa 1900, uses a ruby, emerald, garnet, amethyst, another ruby (all quite gemmy), and a diamond to spell 'regard.' A most charming way to make your intentions known. Measures 2 3/8 inches long. Total gemstone weight, .98 carat.

About Victorian Jewelry
The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.
As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
