A heart within a heart gives this American Queen sweetheart bracelet its tender character. Hand engraving crosses a finely machine-turned pinstripe ground, finished with a fan-shaped flourish below. Polished and patterned gold filled links catch the light around the wrist.
Made by Pitman & Keeler of Attleboro, Massachusetts, this circa 1930s–1940s bracelet belongs to the firm’s American Queen line of sentimental expansion jewelry. The small central heart remains free of initials and can be assessed by a jeweler for personalization. Its flexible band slips over the hand and returns smoothly to its original size.
