The background...

This beautiful necklace features a heart shaped focal repurposed from a broken sweetheart bracelet c.1940s. While the original bracelet design was released in 1890, they became very popular during WWII, when they were given to sweethearts, wives and mothers by soldiers serving in the war. They were worn by those women to show their love and connection to that soldier. I’ve combined this beautiful piece with repurposed pink freshwater pearls and vintage double strand connectors sourced from old warehouse stock.

The details...

  • there is only one
  • sustainably and ethically made in Melbourne
  • made with vintage materials c.1940-80s which may show signs of their age in a deepened patina and minor wear
  • it measures 45.5 cm in length along the inner strand (refer to my necklace guide for more information)
  • closes with a vintage hook clasp
