    Very Good - A tiny element of faint scratching to the surface of the glass. This is consistent with age and use, but does not detract from the overall appeal of the piece.

    A Short History...

    Camphor glass is glass which has been exposed to hydrofluoric acid vapours to give it a frosted look. It was used heavily in jewellery and decorative objects during the Art Deco era because it could imitate the carved rock crystal quartz that was popular at the time. 

    Wear it With...

    This bracelet is perfect for evening wear or a special occasion. It would look beautiful with a little black dress. Also, layer it with other bracelets of similar widths for a great stacked look.

    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.
