1971 1978 Wallace Peace Doves Limited Edition Annual Collection The Complete Collection. Wallace created and issued the first of the annual Peace Dove Christmas ornaments / medallions / pendants in 1971, exemplifying peace and love for the Christmas season. The Peace Dove symbolizes peace, innocence, gentleness, and the Holy Ghost. The Wallace Peace Doves were only offered for eight years, making it one of the most limited editions offered in the 1970's. They were offered in all sterling, gold plated vermeil, and a combination of sterling and vermeil.

The medallions offered here are all sterling. The sterling ornaments for the first three years were dull finish. In 1974 they started making them with a shiny finish. Only the first three years were enameled on the back.

Subsequent years were all sterling. They also started reducing the size after 1975. These ornaments are SOLID sterling silver as opposed to many of the other popular ornaments / series that are hollow. All have boxes, pouches and romance cards. Only 1971 and 1972 do not have outer sleeves.

1978 has a replacement pouch. All ornaments appear to be in like new condition with very little evidence of polishing abrasions. None of the ornaments are damaged, dinged, dented or bent. Poor photography does not do justice to the incredible workmanship and detail the actual ornaments portray. As with all vintage silver, may require proper polishing upon receipt depending on your preferences.
