The Details...

This necklace features a pendant detailed with a fuchsia motif created from carved horn. The pendant is accented with hand-painting. As is typical of Art Nouveau horn necklaces, the pendant is suspended from silk thread and the necklace is detailed with green glass beads - two round beads on the thread and a teardrop suspended from the pendant. The necklace measures 94cm in length. The pendant measures 9cm x 4cm.

A Short History...

The jewellery of the Art Nouveau movement took its inspiration from the natural world and organic forms - flowers were a particularly popular motif and can be seen in this piece. Horn was utilised extensively in French jewellery creation during the early 1900s and was carved to fashion pendants, brooches and hair accessories. This pendant is most likely French in origin too. 

Wear it With...

Wear this pendant with silk and pastels to compliment the tones in the horn pendant.

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.
