A Short History...
Elsa Schiaparelli closed her couture house in 1954. However, she continued to allow her name to be used on licensed items. This included costume jewels, which were made in America from around 1949 and into the 1950s. Since the resurrection of the House of Schiaparelli in 2012, there has been a renewed interest in the work of this great designer and the jewels associated with her name are becoming increasingly sought after.

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.
Exceptionally rare and fascinating, this bracelet was created in the mid 1800s.
