A Short History...
This jewellery set is the epitome of mid-century glamour. Not only is it evocative of the cocktail style popularised in the 1950s - evidently fake, but non-the-less elegant - it also represents the influence of nature upon Fifties jewellery. Indeed, couturiers were heavily influenced by floral motifs.
Wear it With...
Such a romantic and high quality necklace, deserves a special occasion. Why not pair this with an evening gown?
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.
