The Details...
This hinged cuff is constructed from silver. It features a belt and buckle design on one side and this is engraved with a cross-hatch design - to replicate the look and texture of a fabric belt. The holes in the belt are surrounded by engraved 'stitches'. Either side of the belt and buckle, the cuff is engraved with a fern motif. The cuff fastens with a box clasp. The internal diameter of the cuff is 5.5cm and internal circumference is 17.28cm. The inside of the cuff is hallmarked twice to show that it was made in Birmingham in 1901. The cuff is stamped inside with a maker's mark - 'H BRS'.
A Short History...
In Victorian Britain, the collecting of ferns was extremely popular and was known as Pteridomania. The fashionable and the wealthy had ferneries and fern motifs therefore became a trend in jewellery design. Ferns can be seen on this late Victorian cuff. They were also used to symbolise feelings and ideas. In The Language of Flowers, ferns were said to represent fascination, secret love, and magic.

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.
