Description

*British, WWII, RAF Sweetheart Brooch, Enamel Pilot's Wings*

A large and colourful WWII RAF enamel sweetheart brooch, worn with pride by loved ones of airmen during the war.

A Second World War period Royal Air Force (RAF) sweetheart brooch, finely detailed with outstretched enamelled wings, a blue enamel centre bearing the letters RAF, and surmounted by a red enamel King’s Crown. The brooch is constructed in brass with enamel inlay and fitted with a horizontal pin-back clasp. Measuring 5.5cm wide by 1.9cm tall, this is a larger-than-usual example, designed to be worn proudly on a lapel or dress.

Historical Note:
Sweetheart brooches were popular personal items during both World Wars, gifted by serving personnel to wives, fiancées, and family members as symbols of pride and loyalty. The RAF, founded in 1918, gained iconic status during the Battle of Britain, and its insignia became a popular motif in wartime jewellery. This style of enamel wing brooch, with its bold colours and royal crown, would have been purchased privately and worn throughout the 1940s as a visible reminder of loved ones serving in the skies.

*Condition *
The brooch displays age-related wear with areas of enamel loss and chipping, most noticeable to the blue enamel centre. The brass has developed surface patination and light verdigris, particularly to the reverse, consistent with wartime age. The pin and clasp remain present and functional. Overall, a well-preserved and authentic example of RAF sweetheart jewellery with attractive period charm. Please see photographs as part of the condition report.
