Original Second World War Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) sweetheart bracelet featuring a finely detailed winged RCAF insignia mounted to an identification-style nameplate.
The bracelet consists of a gold-filled nameplate suspended by its original chain, with the miniature RCAF badge displaying blue enamel lettering beneath a King’s Crown and outstretched wings. The reverse is maker marked “Gold Filled – Sterling Base – ECCO”, indicating quality wartime construction.
Sweetheart jewelry became extremely popular during the Second World War, often purchased by servicemen for wives, fiancées, girlfriends, or family members before deployment overseas. These personal keepsakes served as cherished reminders of loved ones serving with the RCAF throughout the war years.
This example retains its original chain, attractive age patina, and untouched wartime appearance. The blue enamel remains present within the RCAF emblem, adding excellent visual appeal to the piece.
A desirable and increasingly difficult-to-find item of Canadian wartime aviation memorabilia, ideal for collectors of RCAF, Commonwealth air force, or sweetheart jewelry artifacts.
