Mint Condition Vintage Sterling + 1/20 10K GF Naval Sweetheart Wings For Sale

Vintage naval sweetheart wings featuring sterling silver wings with a 1/20 10K gold‑filled anchor badge at the center. This is a jeweler‑made sweetheart piece, not an official Navy qualification badge. Mixed‑metal sweetheart wings were popular from the WWII–Vietnam era and were commonly worn as brooches, lapel pins, or gifted to loved ones.

The reverse is marked ★ STER + 1/20 10K, with the star containing a bird’s head and jeweler’s initials (HH or MM). This hallmark style is consistent with mid‑century American jewelers who produced higher‑grade sweetheart jewelry. The mixed‑metal construction (sterling wings + gold‑filled center badge) places this piece in the desirable tier of sweetheart naval jewelry.
