Context

RAF sweetheart rings, like other sweetheart jewelry, were personal mementos exchanged between servicemen and their loved ones during wartime, particularly World War I and World War II. These rings, often featuring RAF insignia, were given as symbols of affection, loyalty, and a promise of return, with the loved ones wearing them as a public display of their connection to someone serving in the Royal Air Force.
