"DEAREST" Acrostic Charm Bracelet

Wartime sentimentality meets playful ingenuity in this 1940s spiral-link bracelet, where a sequence of colored gemstones — diamond, emerald, amethyst, ruby, emerald, sapphire, topaz — secretly spells out "DEAREST" in the language of acrostic jewelry. The richly symbolic charms—a piano accented with pearls and a heart striped with gems—capture a mid-century spirit of romance expressed through design rather than words. Gump’s is forever treasure hunting for the best of everything and our collection of estate jewelry — featuring rare antique pieces — is no exception. Distinguished in provenance, each item is one of a kind, reflecting its distinctive gemstones, materials and craftsmanship. One of a kind.
