During WWII sterling silver forget-me-not bracelets were made and given as remembrance tokens for those going off to war. The simple connecting links, bordered with engraved forget-me-not flowers, each contained the name of a person to be remembered. Some of these bracelets went off to war, while others were worn by those left at home. Most bore the names of women left behind when men went off to war...sweethearts, mothers, sisters, daughters, and also sons, brothers, and fathers. The bracelets contained 8-9 links. I have been collecting these bracelets for some time, knowing I would blend their links into a piece of jewelry to honor those who lived and fought through those terrible years. There are 15 links on this necklace, with the names being different on each one.

Here I give you a choker style necklace, with the sterling silver links from the bracelets neatly dropped from a lovely ball chain necklace by a brass/gold bail. This is a rich, stunning, and meaningful statement piece.

The names on this necklace are:
Harbison, Ranfraw, Daisy, Lula, Barbara, Joe, Motrher, Harold, Sterling, Petter (Norwegian for Peter), Joan, Dottie, Doris, and Dorothy. All are hand engraved save for one..."JOE" is machine printed.

The back of each link is marked "Sterling Forget Me Not" on each h of them.

This necklace rests lightly and comfortably on the neck. It is beautiful in it's simplicity and rich in sentimental value. It is 18 inches long. I can shorten it if you prefer, prior to shipping.

I work with antique and vintage parts. Some may show signs of wear or age. Please look at each picture closely. I have tried to show all aspects of my work. Please contact me before purchasing if you have any questions or would like more clarity in a picture. I like to think that older items have a character that newer parts have not yet earned.
