About the Item
This textured 14K gold locket is a sentimental memento as well as a significant part of history, having belonged to Mamie Eisenhower, the former first lady. Engraved with "M.D.E." on the front for Mamie Doud Eisenhower, it opens to reveal a photomechanical reproduction on gold of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Complete with a pendant bail, this locket offers a rare connection to one of the most pivotal figures in American history.
Dwight D. Eisenhower was a five-star general who served as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces during World War II, leading the successful D-Day invasion. As the 34th President of the United States, he ushered in an era of peace and prosperity, championing economic growth, establishing the Interstate Highway System and striving to ease Cold War tensions. Mamie Eisenhower, his wife, was celebrated for her grace, charm and impeccable style, which influenced both fashion and culture during her tenure as First Lady. She became a beloved public figure, embodying the values of 1950s America while bringing warmth and elegance to the White House. Her iconic pink inaugural gown and stylish wardrobe left a lasting legacy in American fashion. Together, the Eisenhowers represented leadership, resilience and a commitment to public service that shaped the mid-20th century.
