The Details...
This necklace features small, round, colourless glass beads. The illusion of large colourless glass beads is created by having 2 semi-spherical beads positioned either side of a rondelle bead. The glass beads are interspersed with round, colourless paste stones set into metal rondelles. There are also two teardrop shaped metal beads covered entirely with small, round, colourless, claw set paste stones. The necklace measures 50cm in length. The necklace has a barrel clasp.
A Short History...
Glass has been a prevalent feature of costume pieces since the invention of jewellery. An easily accessible material that can be formed into any shape and dyed any colour. Glass was heavily used in 1920s and 1930s pieces, such as this necklace, because it could be dyed in a vast array of colours to meet the need for affordable jewellery after the Great Depression and First World War.
Wear it With...
This necklace looks classic and elegant paired with a deep black roll neck knit and grey wool trousers.
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.
