Vintage Antique Valentine Charm Bracelet German Silver Enamel Hearts Cupids Love. This is a unique collection of tiny vintage and antique Valentine sweetheart charms of German and Austrian origin on a vintage German charm bracelet. The charms, which have been collected over many years and assembled here, are mostly vintage; c. 1940’s to 50’s, with a couple of antique ones (the large central heart charm, and the cupid charm to the right, which date to around 1920). There are a total of 25 charms. Some of my favorites are the basse-taille enameled red heart in a birdcage, the cupid with a bouquet of flowers and love letter, the little hut charm with doors opening on each side to reveal enameled red hearts, and the awesome hotel key with room 777 and enameled red heart. I should point out that many of the charms are quite hard to find. During the 1940’s and 50’s, when American charm makers were producing charms such as Terranova, Wells, et al, these charms were the German counterpoints. They’re a bit smaller in size, but the sentiments and historical references are endearing, particularly the romantic ones! The charms are as follows-counterclockwise from the central heart charm.
