This week in the Button List, we're unwrapping the hidden magic of acrostic jewelry—a unique form of design that uses gemstones to spell out secret messages and convey heartfelt sentiments. Plus, we have a special treat: our very first guest joining us!

Now, imagine a time when lovers and friends exchanged tokens of affection that held hidden messages. It was all the rage during the Georgian and Victorian eras, where each gemstone was chosen not just for its beauty but for the letter it represented. Amethyst, Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, and more came together to spell out heartfelt words like "Dearest," "Regard," and "Adore," creating a private language known only to the giver and the receiver.

We will be transporting back to those romantic times, exploring how acrostic jewelry was worn and cherished. From delicate rings to intricate bracelets, brooches, and lockets, we'll uncover the sentimental value these pieces held and the love stories they symbolized. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a jewelry lover, or just someone who enjoys a good love story, this episode will charm some interesting history into your brain.
