The Details...
These gold tone metal dress clips are designed to resemble flowers. They each feature a large, claw set, central, citrine coloured crystal surrounded by teardrop-shaped faux pearls. These pearls sit loosly withing gilt metal cups, so that they are 'En Tremblant' meaning that they mve with the wearer. The reverse of each dress clip is stamped 'MADE IN FRANCE'. Each clip measures 5cm in diameter.
A Short History...
The popularity of the use of faux pearls within costume jewellery is undeniable. Between the 1920s and 1960s, they were enjoying a heyday, as they were acceptable for daywear. Famous costume jewellery brands, such as Chanel and Miriam Haskell, used faux pearls prolifically and many unsigned pieces were made using them to emulate their high end designs.
Wear it With...
These dress clips look chic worn attached to the points of a collar on a denim or white shirt.
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.
