The Details...
This necklace is detailed with clusters of multi-coloured, teardrop shaped, glass beads. It also features 6 green and red glass cubes. There are also round, colourless rhinestones individually attached to the necklace chain in claw set cups. The necklace is also detailed with multi-faceted black glass bead and metal rondelle beads. The necklace measures approximately 70cm.
A Short History...
It is exceptionally rare to find an early piece created by the legendary French poured glass makers, Maison Gripoix. However, this necklace was certainly created by the house in the 1930s. A highly similar example with near identical beadwork and findings features in the book 'Fashion Jewelry - The Collection of Barbara Berger' and is attributed to Gripoix in the 1930s.
Wear it With...
This necklace looks classic and elegant paired with a deep black roll neck knit.
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.
This dramatic and symbolic necklace dates from the Victorian era.
