The Details...
These silver tone metal earrings feature a statement flower and wreath design. They showcase deep sapphire-blue and colourless rhinestones in navette and round cuts. All of the stones are multi-faceted and claw set. The central, large rhinestone has been inverted so that the point faces outwards to create a multi-dimensional effect. The earrings measure 4cm x 4cm.

A Short History...
Glamorous and affordable rhinestone and glass cabochon jewellery was still prevalent in the 1950s, even though the post-war necessity for it had obviously waned. Featuring stones incorporated into bold designs, this form of jewellery was referred to as 'cocktail' because it was commonly worn to a way of gathering together that was becoming increasingly popular - the cocktail party.
Wear it With...
Style these earrings with a simple black or deep blue sweater and jeans for a touch of relaxed glamour.
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.

Condition Report:
Very Good - The clip on one earring is slightly different to that on the other. This suggests that one clip has been replaced at some time in the lifetime of these earrings. This is only apparent upon very close inspection and both work well.
