Devonshire Regiment sweetheart brooch, die struck in gilt brass and vibrant enamel, set on a mother of pearl backing. Sweetheart brooches like this were cherished keepsakes, gifted by soldiers to wives, mothers, or sweethearts as a symbol of pride and connection while serving with the British Army — especially popular during the First World War and interwar years.
This example features the classic Devonshire Regiment badge — the crowned star with circlet bearing the regiment’s name — finely detailed in coloured enamel and mounted on a gleaming circular mother of pearl plaque.
Fitted with a pin and simple clasp on the reverse, it is ready to wear on a blouse, lapel, or dress, or to display as part of a collection of WWI sweetheart jewellery or British regimental memorabilia.
Condition: Good, the badge is slightly loose
Dimensions: approx. 28mm x 28mm
