A Short History...

Glass has been a prevalent feature of costume pieces since the invention of jewellery. An easily accessible material that can be formed into any shape. Glass was heavily used in Art Deco pieces, such as this necklace, because it could be created in a vast array of colours to meet the need for affordable jewellery after the Great Depression and First World War. Foiled glass beads, as can be seen in this necklace, are commonly found in Venice. Their shimmering and beautiful appearance and the craftsmanship required to make them, mean that they are highly collected and sought after. 

Wear it With...

This necklace looks classic and elegant paired with a deep black roll neck knit.

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.
