The Details...
This brooch/pendant is constructed from silver. It tests as being made from silver and is stamped with two very faint hallmarks on the catch of the brooch. The piece features a bow motif and suspended from this are 3 teardrop designs increasing inside and set within each other. The piece is set with small, round, colourless paste stones and is detailed with a single, teardrop shaped, bezel set, open-back mounted, pink glass stone. The piece features a small bail so that it may be worn as a pendant. To allow it to be worn as a brooch, the fastening pin is attached to the piece with a tube hinge and the brooch fastens with a 'C' catch. The brooch measures 3cm x 4.5cm.

A Short History...
This pendant is a lovely example of garland style jewellery from the Edwardian era. Designs were typified by ribbons, laurel wreaths, bows, knots and tassels creating soft, dripping lines in jewels that had previously been quite structured. The garland style borrowed motifs from 18th century jewellery design and injected them with greater fluidity of line.

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.
