The left heart carries the inscription \"BEST WISHES\" in pierced lettering, while the right is pierced with a dove in flight — a symbol of peace and safe return that would have carried particular weight in the year of the Somme. Sweetheart brooches of this type were exchanged between loved ones during the First World War as tokens of affection and hope, and this example retains the quiet emotional power of its original purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe brooch carries full Birmingham hallmarks and is in good condition for its age.
