Vintage 1940s Double Sweetheart Locket Necklace

Raleigh Vintage

Such a sweet WWII era necklace!  Two etched brass heart lockets dangle from a brass-toned chain.  Older style circle clasp.    Brass heart lockets were often given to sweethearts and mothers during the war.  This necklace was discovered, along with several other pieces of sweetheart jewelry stored away below a women's watch; we wish we knew the story behind the cache.

 

DETAILS

Label:  none

Circa:  1940s

Condition:  Overall very good.  The necklace shows normal signs of wear and again, including some darkening and patina (see photos).  Please note, we have not tried any heavy cleaning methods on the lockets as we actually prefer our vintage jewelry to retain signs of their age.
