    A Short History...

    Line Vautrin was a French artist and jeweller known for working with metal and the resin Talosel, which she developed and patented in the 1950s. Her creations often featured ridges, folds and ripples and incorporated mirrors and foil. With its ridged Talosel, this barrette could very well likely be a piece by her. However, Line Vautrin also established a school with her daughter and taught students her skills between the 1960s and 1980s. Therefore, this piece could also potentially be an item by a student at the school. Renowned artist jewellers, like Henry Perichon and Irena Jaworska, were former students of Line Vautrin. 

    Wear it With...

    This barrette would be a chic occasion piece. But, also a wonderful addition to the collection of a costume jewellery lover.

    The jewellery within the Gemma Redmond Vintage collection has survived to this day because it has been well cared for throughout its lifetime. It is important to continue to care for the jewellery that you buy from us to ensure its continued preservation. Here are some suggestions:

    - Be sure to store your jewellery within the boxes that we provide to ensure that it is protected. This is especially important when travelling with your pieces.

    - Try not to get perfume or hairspray on your items. These liquids can damage the materials that our jewellery is made from.

    - Try not to drop your jewellery or catch your jewellery against hard surfaces. If this happens over time, the findings and fixings can loosen and wear.

    - Try not to get your jewellery wet. Some costume jewellery manufacturers utilised water soluble glue in the making of their pieces. Getting your jewellery wet could cause rhinestones and other details to fall away over time.

    - If you wish to clean your jewellery, use a soft polishing cloth or a soft brush.
