The Details...
This bracelet is constructed from gold plated metal. It features 4 chunky rope chains culminating in a a decorative press stud clasp. The ornate clasp is detailed with a bird motif, black glass cabochons and black enamel floral accents. The bracelet features a safety chain and comes with its original box. The bracelet is signed - the inside of the clasp features an oval cartouche stamped with 'CL CHRISTIAN LACROIX MADE IN FRANCE'.
A Short History...
This bracelet is a perfect example of Christian Lacroix's beautiful baroque detailing and love of mixing textures, materials and colour. In the early Nineties, Lacroix was enjoying a time of great popularity. His work provided an antithesis to the minimalism of designers like Calvin Klein. Opulence lovers could visit his stores to splurge on jewellery that reflected their style. It is doubtless that this bracelet would have made its way to the checkout with a daring fashionista.
Wear it With...
Pair this bracelet with black jeans and a black blazer with gold buttons for a chic statement.
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.
This chic bracelet is a lovely example of Christian Dior's 1980s gold plated jewellery.
