The Details...
This necklace is constructed from a bronze tone metal. Its design is tribal inspired and it features a collar comprised of 7 metal rings. Suspended from the rings is a hammered metal disc from which hangs chain fringing. The necklace fastens with a hook and eye and is adjustable in length. The necklace is signed - the reverse of the disc features an oval cartouche stamped with 'GAULTIER'.
A Short History...
This necklace is a perfect example of Jean Paul Gaultier's statement designs. In the early Nineties, Gaultier was enjoying a time of great popularity. His work provided an antithesis to the minimalism of designers like Calvin Klein. Lovers of the avant-garde could visit his stores to splurge on jewellery that reflected their style. It is doubtless that this necklace would have made its way to the checkout with a daring fashionista
Wear it With...
Although a very grand piece, this necklace works well with any form of style - it makes a dramatic statement with a full length black lace dress or looks ultra-cool sat on top of a black polo neck jumper.
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.
This stylish necklace was made in 1979 by Givenchy.
