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.
