The Details...
This brooch is constructed from silver. It features a posy design and is detailed with small, round, claw set, ruby paste stones. The brooch fastens with a trombone clasp and the fastening pin is fitted to the brooch with a round hinge. The brooch measures 7cm x 5cm. It features a French silver makers lozenge shaped stamp - inside which are the initials 'LRS' and what appears to be a bird's head motif. However, after extensive research it has not been possible to associate this mark with a specific maker.

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.
