Circa 1940 a charming original WWII era Royal Air Force sweetheart brooch crafted in sterling silver and enamel. Beautifully detailed, the design features an enamelled bar at the top suspending a classic RAF emblem drop, creating an elegant and patriotic wartime piece.
This petite brooch remains in very good condition for its age, with the enamel bright and well preserved. It is fitted with a secure pin back and is stamped “SILVER” on the reverse, confirming the metal.
Sweetheart jewellery was worn by British women during the Second World War as a symbol of love, loyalty and support for loved ones serving in the forces. Today, these pieces are highly collectible and rich in social history.
A classic and wearable example, ideal for the lapel, scarf or as a stylish alternative tie or cravat pin. A meaningful addition to a vintage jewellery collection or a thoughtful gift for a military history enthusiast.
SIZE: 1-1/8"/3cm wide, 1"/2.5cm tall, weighs 4.3 grams
