The Details...

This brooch is most likely constructed from gold filled metal. It is mounted with the letters 'AEI' and these have been finely engraved to add to the 3D quality of the design. The fastening pin is fitted to the brooch with a tube hinge and the brooch fastens with a 'C' catch. The brooch is also marked on the reverse with the mark of a maker, jeweller or owner. The brooch measures 3.25cm in diameter. 

A Short History...

Featuring the letters 'AEI', this brooch is a fine example of Victorian sentimental jewellery. The letters were incorporated into jewellery design to represent the words Amity, Eternity and Infinity. Aei was also the biblical Greek word for 'always'.

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.
