Step into a chapter of proud maritime history with this exquisite vintage Royal Marines sweetheart brooch, masterfully crafted in sterling silver and adorned with vibrant blue and red enamel. A true emblem of devotion, this piece would have been gifted by a Royal Marine to a loved one during the tumultuous years of service—likely during or shortly after World War II.
At its heart rests the globe, signifying the Corps’ far-reaching presence, surrounded by a laurel wreath—a symbol of honour and victory. Crowning the design is the royal crest, and beneath the globe proudly flows the timeless motto:
“Per Mare, Per Terram” – By Sea, By Land
Along the top, the name “Gibraltar” honours the Corps’ historic capture of the Rock of Gibraltar in 1704.
Details:
• Material: Sterling Silver (marked “STERLING” on reverse)
• Era: Circa 1940s–1950s
• Features: Enamel detail, pin-back fastening in working order
• Dimensions: [Insert measurements here once known – e.g., approx. 1.5 inches tall]
This brooch is not only a collectible military keepsake but also a heartfelt relic of wartime affection. Whether worn on a lapel or kept safely in a collection, it serves as a poignant reminder of service, sacrifice, and sentiment.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. Enamel is vivid with minimal wear; silver shows gentle age patina consistent with age. Pin mechanism is secure and functional.
Ideal for:
• Collectors of militaria or Royal Marines memorabilia
• Lovers of vintage military jewelry
• A unique gift for history buffs, military families, or Anglophiles
Ships safely and lovingly packaged with tracking and care.
