    The Details...

    This necklace features faux horn and faux silver resin beads. They are threaded onto silver wire. The necklace fastens with a hook and eye mechanism using an open-link chain and is adjustable in length. The maximum length of the necklace is 72cm. The necklace is signed - the 'S' hook is stamped 'YSL' and 'FRANCE'. 

    A Short History...

    This necklace features the 'S' hook clasp, which famed French parurier Roger Scemama used in the creation of his pieces. He created many jewels for Yves Saint Laurent in his lifetime, particularly acrylic and resin beaded pieces, such as this necklace. It is therefore likely that this piece is a Scemama creation. 

    Wear it With...

    These necklace would look sensational paired with a maxi dress and flat leather sandals.

    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.
