A Short History...
Featuring high quality stones and glass beads, well manufactured settings and elegant design details, this clip has the hallmarks of a piece created in France for couturiers during the post-war era. It bears a good similarity to pieces made by the great parurier Roger Jean Pierre. The 3D raised element to the design, to open-back mounting of the stones and the type of clip and backing used are all typical of jewels created by Roger Jean Pierre.

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.
