The Details...

These earrings are constructed from brass. They feature a design depicting a bird with outstretched wings - possibly an Ibis. They are detailed with blue, green and red enamel and are set with round Peking glass cabochons. Each earring has a Peking Glass bead suspended from it. The earrings attach to the ears with screw-backs. They measure 3cm x 0.75cm.

A Short History...

In 1922, Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun and, thereby, ignited a Western fascination with Ancient Egypt which permeated the Arts. Jewellery designers created heavily stylised profiles of people and hieroglyphs taken from tomb walls, as can be seen in these earrings. Reviving Egyptian motifs was a real 1920s celebration of adventure and breaking down cultural barriers. These earrings were most likely created by the Neiger Brothers in Czechoslovakia. This can be assumed due to the design of the earrings, the shades of enamel and use of Peking Glass.

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.

Condition Report:

Good - Some wear to the silk thread and crazing to the surface of the milk glass. This is only visible upon close inspection and does not detract from the overall appeal of the earrings.
