Let Freedom Ring

Many charms pay tribute to those serving in the military. The sailor charm on the right is barely a half inch in height.  Notice the details --- the bow on the middy shirt, the jaunty hat and the flare of bell-bottom pants.  The charm on the left portrays one of the most famous images of WWII --- the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.  This charm conveys a sense of movement and triumph despite its small scale.  The details on both charms are enhanced by the warm patina they have acquired over time.

Thank you to the men and women of our Armed Forces.
