The Details...
These earrings are constructed from gold plated metal. They feature a floral design and are detailed with gold plated metal leaves, which are hand wired to the earring backs so that they move up and down. They also feature multi-coloured round glass beads and a central faux pearl. The earrings are clip on and feature a backing detailed with concentric circles, which is typical of pieces produced by the Françoise Montague company. They each measure 4.5cm in diameter.

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.

These elegant earrings, featuring beautiful Jade inspired green glass, date from the 1920s.
Condition Report:
Very Good - The screw back mechanisms on these earrings are slightly different from each other, indicating that one of them is perhaps not original to the earrings. This is only apparent upon very close examination. It does not affect the appearance of the earrings when they are worn and both mechanisms work well.

Stylish and skilfully made, these Victorian Whitby Jet earrings are a timeless design.
Condition Report:
Excellent - The shaping of the hoop and link at the top of one earring is slightly different to that on the other. This is perhaps due to the hand-made nature of the earrings or perhaps because this feature has been broken at some point and later replaced. The reverse of one link is missing a jet backing for the pin too. These aspects do not detract however from the appeal and rarity of the main body of the earrings.

Condition Report:
Very Good - The hooks are potentially a later replacement. Also, there's a tiny element of darkening to the baguette paste stones. This is consistent with age and does not detract from the appeal of the earrings.
