Monograms and Alphabet necklaces have different meanings depending on their context

In Greek, the word monogram means "a single symbol composed of two or more letters interwoven, often an abbreviation of a name. ", and derives from two words "monos", meaning single and "grams", meaning letters, respectively. Monograms during the Victorian era were traditionally made up of three letters, but sooner or later started with two letters. Over time, monograms became a form of identification beyond coinage, with monograms adorning their tablecloths, armour, and other belongings, instead of appearing on coinage.

Monograms engraved by hand beautifully were a popular practice in Victorian times. The monogram was often used by Victorian aristocrats as a symbol of their social status.
