Unusual Jump Wings

[RonR]

Custom made Jump Wings with diamonds that were perhaps used as the center of a postwar bracelet....

Very cool! Did you acquire these from the vet?

[RonR]

A number of years ago!

I would think they were part of a sweetheart bracelet.

My thoughts also!

Very lovely, why do you date it as post-war?

[RonR]

My thought was that the paratrooper had this made after returning from the ETO.


Your thoughts please....

Difficult to tell. Do the diamonds check out as original? I guess that they are based on the settings.

[RonR]

They do, but very tiny!

My these were more popular during the war then after, so it is possible; however, proving it might be another problem.

Yes, this is a sweetheart bracelet piece. The stones are usually costume jewelry type clear crystals. Actual diamonds would be secured more carefully. I've had a few like this over the years.
