In the late 1800s into the early 1900s, sterling silver "puffy heart" charms were hugely popular gifts for a young man to give to his sweetheart. These charms, hollow and "puffy", came in all sizes and shapes with different designs pressed or engraved into the metal, some with figurative imagery, often personalized with the name of a loved one. This sweet necklace is an assemblage of 9 unique puffy heart charms mounted on a sterling silver curb chain. This wearable work of art could have been put together any time after the early 1900s, but it was likely made by a creative mind in the 1930s or 40s, when dangling charm necklaces were quite popular. This necklace is a beautiful token of love and affection. 

Marked and tested sterling silver.

Excellent condition with age patina that adds to the piece. Has been polished but some expected tarnish remains and adds depth to the designs.
