The Details...
This circular brooch with a fancy edging is detailed with a floral design and a lady wearing a bow choker. Motifs typical of the French Belle Époque era from which it dates. Although it bears no hallmarks, it is most likely silver. The fastening pin is attached to the brooch with a tube hinge and the brooch fastens using a 'C' catch. This brooch measures 2.75cm in diameter.
A Short History...
The jewellery of the French Belle Époque period can be exemplified by an allusion to the natural world. This brooch is particularly representative of this aesthetic phase, which began in the 1880s and started to wane in the 1900s/1910s.
Wear it With...

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.
