The Details...

This brooch is most likely constructed from a copper and zinc alloy, commonly referred to as Tombak. It is often used in jewellery of Czechoslovakian origin. It is set with round, hand-cut paste stones of varying sizes. Some of the stones are claw set. Although this brooch was made in the Victorian era, some of the paste stones in this piece may date from the Georgian period. This is because there are a few stones in the brooch with a hand-painted black dot on their underside. Black dot pastes were used in imitation jewellery of the 18th and early 19th century and the black dot was used to mimick the flat culet (the very bottom tip of a diamond) in early diamond cuts. The brooch features a starburst motif. The brooch fastens wish a 'C' clasp and the fastening pin is attached to the brooch with a round hinge. The brooch measures 3.25cm in diameter.

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.
