    The Details...

    This locket is constructed from silver. It is stamped on the reverse with '925'. It also features a makers mark. However, this is difficult to decipher, as it has become worn over time. The locket is oval in shape and detailed at the top with a bow motif. This bow and the border of the locket is detailed with small, round colourless paste stones. The locket features two original photographs - an enamel portrait of a gentleman in uniform and a paper picture of a woman. The locket measures 4.75cm x 3.25cm.

    A Short History...

    This locket is a lovely example of garland style jewellery from the Edwardian era. Designs were typified by ribbons, laurel wreaths, bows,  knots and tassels creating soft, dripping lines in jewels that had previously been quite structured. The garland style borrowed motifs from 18th century jewellery design and injected them with greater fluidity of line.

    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.

      Antique Early 19th Century Portrait Miniature Marcasite Pendant

      £295.00

      This beautiful portrait miniature pendant was most likely created in France.

      Condition Report:

      Very Good - A couple of chips to the surface of the glass. This is only apparent upon very close inspection and does not detract from the appeal and rarity of this piece. This piece has possibly had a brooch fitting at some point in its life too, as there are traces of an area where a hinge might have been.
