Georgian Black Dot Paste and Silver Antique Spinning Flower Brooch

    £850.00

    Dramatic and historic, this brooch was created in the Georgian era. 

    Condition Report:

    Very Good - Some clouding to a couple of the stones and scratches to the surface of a couple too. This is only visible upon very close inspection with a magnifying glass. It is consistent with age and use and do not detract from the overall appeal of the piece.

    The Details...

    This brooch, although un-hallmarked, is most likely constructed from silver. It features a large 3D flower design set with hand-cut, black-dot paste stones. The centre of the flower can move - it rotates around a central pin. The brooch fastens with a 'C' clasp and the fastening pin is fitted to the brooch with a tube hinge. This brooch measures 6cm x 5cm. 

    A Short History...

    In the Georgian era, a black dot was often painted onto the culet of a paste stone to give an impression of depth. This was a time consuming part of manufacture and therefore is indicative of a high quality grade of paste stone. 

    Wear it With...

    Brooches are an exceptionally simple way to add instant vintage styling to any look and interest to plain materials. Pin this piece onto a hat, lapel, collar, cuff, scarf, sleeve, waistline or bag - wear alone or with a selection.

    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.
