Increasingly coveted and valuable as they approach "antique" status, World War II sweetheart jewels are particularly touching pieces of history. This one was made even more special by its owner's great care. If she wore it at all, it was very rarely, and she stored it in its original presentation box covered in heavy burgundy velvet with four military stripes of gold leaf. The black velvet interior still bears its oval "Sterling Silver" sticker. The bracelet has seven charms, spelling out MY SWEET and finished with a heart. The letters are half an inch tall and the heart measures 5/8 by 5/8 inch. They hang from a chain 7 1/2 inches long, with a spring ring closure. Provenance is a Midwestern estate and condition is exceptional. Even the box shows remarkably little wear. Being about 65 years old (to date from 1942-1945, when the U.S. was at war), this wonderful vintage bracelet isn't far shy of antique by American 75-year standards. Someone gave it a good polish before it reached us, or it would be black with tarnish after all this time. Please e-mail to confirm availability, order or request more photos. There's no charge for insured U.S. shipping and gift-wrap is always free when desired. Thanks for looking! |
