“Golden Promise” Vintage Sweetheart Expansion Bracelet (c. 1940s) WW2
A whispered promise, worn close to the heart.
This authentic 1940s sweetheart bracelet carries the memory of distant shores and timeless love stories.
During World War II, soldiers often gifted these delicate bracelets to their wives, girlfriends, mothers, and sisters before shipping out — a tangible symbol of hope, devotion, and dreams of returning home to the ones they loved.
Crafted by Pitman & Keeler under their “American Queen” line, this piece features a golden expansion band etched with flowing scrollwork and a heart-shaped centerpiece engraved with the letter “G.” Designed to stretch and flex across distance and time, this bracelet is a rare relic from a world where every piece of jewelry told a story of love.
Authentic vintage WWII-era sweetheart expansion bracelet
Made by Pitman & Keeler, marked “American Queen”
Likely gold-filled as this line was made that way/ but there is no marking for us to confirm.
Engraved heart centerpiece with “G” initial
Flexible stretch band with scrollwork detailing
Fits a range of wrist sizes (typical for expansion bracelets)
Light vintage wear consistent with age and history
c. 1940s
The gentle wear on this bracelet is not damage — it’s a testament. A love lived, a hope held, a heart remembered.
One of one. Once it’s gone, it’s gone — forever.
