    A Short History...

    The jewellery of the Art Nouveau movement took its inspiration from the natural world and organic forms - wings were a particularly popular motif and can be seen in this piece. Horn was utilised extensively in jewellery creation during the early 1900s and was carved to fashion pendants, brooches and hair accessories.

    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.

            Condition Report:

            Very Good - A couple of the cut steel studs are potentially missing. However, the design is so busy, it is difficult to tell if there are losses or if there are just omissions in the design. All of the studs are in shining, excellent condition, which is very rare for a cut steel piece.
