The Details...
This brooch is constructed from a bronze tone metal. The brooch features a statement motif with 5 pendants suspended beneath. The brooch is detailed with round and teardrop shaped ruby rhinestones and round, vitrail coated rhinestones. All of the stones are multi-faceted and claw set. The brooch fastens with a traditional safety catch and the fastening pin is attached to the brooch with a round hinge. The brooch also features a bail, so that it may be worn as a pendant. The brooch measures 5cm x 7cm. Although un-marked, the striking design and quality rhinestones used in this piece make it highly likely to have been made in Austria.

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.
