    The Details...

    This brooch is constructed from silver - it is stamped 'STERLING SILVER'. At its centre is a locket, which has space for 2 photographs or keepsakes. One panel of the locket is made from glass and the other panel is plastic. Most of the locket is constructed from silver. However, the section that can be removed to insert the photographs is made from brass. This piece is known as a swivel brooch because the central locket spins, so that the wearer can choose which image or keepsake is at the front. The fastening pin is attached to the brooch with a round hinge and the brooch fastens with a 'C' catch. The piece also features a small bail so that the brooch can be worn as a pendant too. The brooch measures 4.5cm x 3.75cm.

    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.
