The Details...
This brooch is constructed from silver. It features 2 hallmarks on its reverse. However, these are indecipherable due to rubbing over time. The brooch features two birds on a branch looking over a nest. The birds are set with small Marcasite stones and have red paste stones for their eyes. At the centre of the nest are three small faux pearls to represent eggs. The brooch fastens using a traditional safety catch and the fastening pin is fitted to the reverse of the brooch with a round hinge. The brooch measures 4.75cm x 1.5cm. It comes presented in what appears to be its original box.

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.
This brooch is a lovely example of Joseff of Hollywood's statement jewellery.
