    The Details...

    This brooch is constructed from rhodium plated metal. It features a statement sized panel set with navette, round and pear cut colourless rhinestones. All of the stones are multi-faceted and claw set. Suspended from the brooch are 3 teardop shaped, baroque style faux pearls with decorative caps. The brooch fastens with a trombone catch and the pin is fitted to the brooch with a round hinge. The brooch measures 7m x 4cm. 

    A Short History...

    Featuring high quality stones, well manufactured settings and elegant design details, this brooch has the hallmarks of a piece created in France for couturiers during the post-war era. It particularly resembles pieces made by the great parurier Roger Scemama. He particularly favoured using navette cut, Tyrolean (Austrian) stones with visible settings around their edges, as can be seen in this wonderful brooch. Scemama also utilised imitation baroque style pearls in much of his mid-century work and these are also included in this design. 

    Wear it With...

    Such a romantic and high quality piece, deserves a special occasion. Why not pair this brooch at the waist of a satin wedding gown with a bateau neckline?

    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.
