The Details...
This sterling silver brooch features a romantic bar design detailed with floral elements, so typical of early 1900s brooches. It is set with small, round, colourless paste stones. The brooch fastens with a 'C' clasp. The fastening pin is attached to the reverse of the brooch with a round hinge. The brooch is signed - 'KP' is stamped on the reverse. Along with '925', which indicates sterling silver.
A Short History...
The jewellery of the Art Nouveau movement took its inspiration from the natural world and organic forms - flowers were a particularly popular motif and can be seen in this brooch.
Wear it With...
Brooches are an exceptionally simple way to add instant vintage styling to any look and interest to plain materials. Pin this piece onto a hat, lapel, collar, cuff, scarf, sleeve, waistline or bag - wear alone or with a selection.
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.
