We were inspired by the tradition of acrostic jewellery to create our hope necklace. During the Victorian era the first letter of a gemstone were used to spell out a word in jewellery. The most classic example of this type of acrostic jewellery was the “REGARD” ring in which the first letter of each gemstone spelled out the word regard.

In our necklace the first letter of each gemstone, Heliodor, Opal, Peridot and Emerald spell out the word HOPE. If you’re unfamiliar with heliodor  it is the yellow variety of beryl which is the same mineral as emerald and aquamarine.

Who couldn’t use a little hope these days?! This pendant is meant to serve as a talisman to those who believe in happy endings, that good will always triumph over evil and who will never stop trying to make the world a better place.

This pendant is made to order. Please allow 1-3 weeks production time plus delivery time.

Care Instructions:

    • Store in an airtight ziploc bag to prevent tarnish (included with purchase).

    • Do not wear in a pool, spa or hot tub as the chemicals may cause the silver to tarnish.
    • It would also be wise to remove the necklace before performing any strenuous activity and before bed.
