14K Gold Ring, Multi-Coloured Precious Gemstones.

The history of acrostic jewellery dates back to the 18th century. Paris jeweller Jean-Baptiste Mellerio first conceived the idea of spelling out words with coloured gemstones.

Spelling out your love with different coloured gemstones may seem chaste in this day and age, especially when social media is awash with more overt declarations of affection. But there is an appealing touch of old-school romance in wearing a jewel imbued with a secret message coded in precious stones. Each gemstone represents a different letter of the alphabet.

Here’s a quick guide to the most common gemstone-letter correspondences:

- A = Amethyst, Aquamarine, Alexandrite
- D = Diamond
- E = Emerald
- G = Garnet
- I = Iolite
- L = Lapis Lazuli
- M = Moonstone, Malachite, Morganite
- O = Opal, Onyx
- P = Pearl, Peridot
- R = Ruby
- S = Sapphire, Spinel
- T = Topaz, Tourmaline
- U = Unakite (though rarely used)
- V = Vermarine (green quartz)

Notice there’s no gemstone for letters like B, K, N, Q, X, Y, or Z? This limited the vocabulary somewhat, but also forced creativity. It’s like playing Scrabble with only the good letters—challenging, but definitely possible to create beautiful messages.
