A perfect piece for collectors of Original Period Items, 1919-38, Militaria, or Sweetheart Collectibles. “1/20 12K GF” is a stamp you’ll see on jewelry to indicate it’s gold-filled. Here’s a breakdown of the meaning. 1/20: This refers to the fraction of the total item weight that is gold. In this case, 1/20th of the item’s weight is gold. So, for example, if a piece of jewelry weighs 10 grams, then 1/20th of that (0.5 grams) would be gold. 12K: This refers to the karat weight of the gold. Karat (abbreviated K) is a unit used to measure the purity of gold. 24K is pure gold, while lower karats indicate that the gold is mixed with other metals. In this case, 12K gold is 50% pure gold (12 parts out of 24). GF: This stands for gold-filled. Gold-filled jewelry is made by pressure bonding a layer of gold to a core of a less expensive metal, such as brass. The gold layer must be at least 5% of the total weight of the item to be considered gold-filled by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the US. So, “1/20 12K GF” means that the jewelry item is gold-filled, with a layer of 12K gold that constitutes 5% of the item’s weight. The concept of “Sweetheart Wings” has a long standing tradition that dates all the way back to World War I. Upon graduating pilot training, servicemen would have a set of their wings turned into a pin or pendant by a local jeweler in order to give to their girlfriend, fiancé, or wife before they went overseas. This custom grew even more popular during World War II, and the handcrafted jewelry became that much more impressive.
