    This brooch is detailed with a central, classical portrait of a lady in red, transfer printed onto a ceramic oval panel. The brooch fastens with a trombone catch and the pin is attached to the reverse with a round hinge. The brooch measures 7cm x 1.5cm. On the fastening pin, the brooch features a worn hallmark or makers stamp, which is difficult to decipher. It is most likely to show the brooch is constructed from rolled gold. 

    A Short History...

    Examining its construction, marks and findings, this piece was most likely produced by the French Fix, Murat or Oria companies. They produced high quality rolled gold jewellery. Rolled gold is a plate of copper between two very thin plates of gold.

    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.
