A Short History...
The central, large flower on this piece is designed so that it can move slightly within its mount. This jewellery construction technique is known as 'en tremblant' - meaning that it trembles a little when the wearer moves.
Wear it With...
Wear this brooch with floral prints to compliment its Victorian elegance.
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.
This rare brooch is emblematic of the Egyptian Revival aesthetic and dates from the late Victorian or early Edwardian era.

This delightful figural brooch was created in c.1920 by the German high quality costume jewellery maker, Knoll and Pregizer.
Condition Report:
Good - The 'C' catch and fastening pin are most likely a later replacement to the piece. However, they work well and are in-keeping with the design. There is a tiny element of enamel loss to the tip of one wing. This is only visible upon close inspection and does not detract from the appeal of the piece.
