The Details...

This necklace features round and cube shaped frosted glass beads, blue round glass beads carved with floral patterns and cut metal rondelle beads. At the centre of the necklace are clear glass 'spikey' beads and a round, multi-faceted clear glass bead. The necklace fastens with a large, sterling silver bolt ring - this was a recent addition to the necklace when it was professionally re-strung to increase its strength. This necklace measures 70cm in length.

A Short History...

Glass has been a prevelant 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 Art Deco 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. It could also be formed into a variety of shapes to created the geometric designs popular during the Art Deco era. 

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.
