Original Item: Only One Available. Sweet Heart Brooches go back thousands of years. Young men off to War trying to declare their undying love to the girl of their dreams in the hope she will stay true.

IMA has purchased a small collection of these romantic items purchased by a devoted Grandfather for his first Grandson and buying him one a year until the Grandfather's death 23 years later. The old man was no fool, he only bought the best, mostly sterling silver but a few in hall marked gold. Each Broach displays the emblem of the Soldier's Regiment. A gift of true love, now to be shared with the woman of your dreams
