The Details...
Although un-hallmarked, this pendant is highly likely to be constructed from silver. It features a floral design and is set with small, round, colourless pastes stones and a single, round, purple paste stone. The pendant is suspended from a delicate cable chain, which fastens with a bolt ring. This chain is most likely original to the pendant. The pendant measures 6cm x 2.5cm. The chain measures 40cm in length.
A Short History...
The jewellery of the Art Nouveau and Edwardian periods can be exemplified by an allusion to the natural world. With its floral design, this pendant is particularly representative of these aesthetic phases, which began in the 1880s and started to wane in the 1900s/1910s.
Wear it With...
Wear this pendant with floral prints to compliment its Edwardian elegance.
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.
