    The Details...

    This collar necklace is constructed from 4 rows of gilded metal links all stamped with floral patterns. Suspended from the full length of the collar are round and teardrop shaped, faceted, black glass beads with decorative gilded metal filigree cappings. The necklace fastens with a box clasp and the clasp is detailed with a round black glass cabochon and round black glass beads to form a flower motif. The collar is 38cm in length. 

    A Short History...

    Françoise Montague established her costume jewellery brand in Paris in 1945. She designed pieces for couture houses, such as Nina Ricci. The company is still in existence today and their archivists have verified this necklace as being one of their creations. A similar, larger scale, version of this necklace can be seen in 'Vogue - The Jewellery' by Carol Woolton. This example is dated to 1962 and was created by Montague for the designer Adrien Mann. 

    Wear it with...

    Pair this necklace with a black round neck swing dress and neutral round toe courts, for a modern day nod to the sixties.

    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.
