Antique Victorian Heart Shaped 'Dearest' Acrostic Bracelet 14 Karat Rose Gold
About the Item
This Victorian "Dearest" bracelet is a charming piece of jewelry that embodies the romanticism and the sentimental nature of its era. The bracelet, crafted in 14 karat rose gold, at first glance appears to be a simple yet elegant design. Upon closer inspection, one can discern that each link is formed into a stylized heart shape, a common motif in Victorian sentimental jewelry, representing love and affection.
Set within the center of these hearts are various faceted gemstones, each one carefully chosen to represent a letter in the word "dearest." The stones include Diamond, Emerald, Amethyst, Ruby, Emerald again, Sapphire, and Topaz, creating the acronym for which the bracelet is named. The gems are collet-set, a typical setting for the period, which not only secures the stones but also allows for maximum exposure to light, enhancing their brilliance and color.
The historical context of this bracelet is deeply rooted in the Victorian era's fascination with coded messages and acrostic jewelry. During this time, jewelry was not just a form of decoration but also a means of conveying personal and intimate messages between the giver and the recipient. The "Dearest" bracelet was likely a treasured token of affection, possibly given during courtship or as an anniversary gift. Such pieces were highly fashionable and sought after for their dual purpose as both beautiful jewelry as well as a secret sentiment of history.
