The Details...
This gold plated brooch features three diamond shaped panels detailed with the famous Chanel Matelassé design. It fastens with a traditional safety clasp and the fastening pin is attached to the reverse of the brooch with a round hinge. The brooch measures 7.5cm x 3.5cm. The brooch is signed - the reverse features an oval shaped, gold-plated cartouche stamped with 'CHANEL', 'MADE IN FRANCE', a copyright symbol and the Chanel logo. The reverse of the brooch is also stamped with an authentication code at its base. The brooch comes with its original Chanel box too.
A Short History...
Created in 1955, the house of Chanel's iconic 2.55 handbag features a quilted pattern using stitched rhombuses that is known as the Matelassé design. Since its creation by Coco Chanel the Matelassé has been incorporated into so many items produced by the brand in various guises. Here, the rhombus quilting is a stylish design detail on a brooch.

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 beautiful brooch was most likely created in the Victorian era. It features a pretty floral design.
