    The Details...

    This bangle is constructed from sections of curved metal painted black and assembled to form a wraparound design. The bangle is studded with round, faceted, French Jet cabochons. The internal diameter of the bangle is 5.5cm, making the internal circumference 17.28cm. However, because of its wraparound design, the bangle is slightly expandable.

    A Short History...

    Glass has been a prevalent feature in costume pieces since the invention of jewellery, as it is an easily accessible material that can be formed into any shape and dyed any colour. Elaborately faceted panels of black glass, known as French Jet, were developed for jewellery making in the mid to late 1800s in order to replicate the more costly and rare Whitby Jet. Black jewellery was popularised in the 1800s by Queen Victoria, who, after the death of her beloved Prince Albert, insisted on only wearing black. People wanted to emulate the style of their Queen. 

    Wear it With...

    French jet looks fabulous with white t-shirts. The multi-faceted and intricate design of these earrings would work particularly well with crisp white tones.

    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.
