    The Details...

    This necklace, although un-hallmarked, has been tested as being constructed from silver. It features a central design and pendant detailed with round, multi-faceted, purple coloured glass stones. These are all claw set and mounted within silver too. The necklace fastens with a bolt ring and measures 40cm in length. The pendant measures 5cm x 2cm. 

    A Short History...

    Glass and crystal have been a prevalent feature of costume pieces since the invention of jewellery. Easily accessible materials that can be formed into any shape. They were heavily used in 1920s and 1930s pieces, such as this necklace, because they could meet the need for affordable jewellery after the World War One and the Great Depression. They could also be pressed into the evocative geometric shapes we associate with Art Deco design.

    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.

    Vintage Art Deco Style Chain Mail and Enamel Tie Design Necklace

    Condition Report:

    Very Good - Some wear to the enamel in a couple of small areas. This is only apparent upon very close inspection and does not detract from the appeal of the piece.
