U.S. Military Surplus
In the 1940s, during World War II, soldiers going to war had a custom of giving accessories to their families and lovers back home.
These were called sweetheart jewelry, and many featured designs of the soldiers' respective military branches, including rings, necklaces, bracelets, and brooches.
This is just the pendant top, a locket-type charm that can hold photos.
It features a heart-shaped base carved from mother-of-pearl, the shell that produces pearls, with the emblem of the U.S. Army Air Force (USAAF), the predecessor to the U.S. Air Force.
It is marked STERLING and 12K gold-filled.
It is a two-sided photo type.
It is a rather luxurious specification.
Although there is overall dullness and small scratches on the back, the hinge functions without any problems, and there is no damage to note other than age-related deterioration.
Since there is no chain, you can use the 40's dog tag chain, which is listed separately, although the color is different.
It is recommended for those who want to stick to the same era.
We will offer a small discount for combined purchase requests.
We are also listing other types of sweetheart jewelry.
