The Details...

This pendant is constructed from silver - it is stamped with a French silver makers mark set within a diamond shape. The stamp is a 'C' followed by a crescent symbol and then an 'M'. However, it hasn't been possible to attribute this mark accurately to a maker as yet. The pendant features an oval shaped, hand painted portrait of a lady. The portrait is framed within a fancy mount and then surrounded by a halo of Marcasite stones. The bail of the pendant is stamped with a feather-like motif and the back of the pendant is stamped with sun ray design. The pendant measures 3cm x 2.3cm.

A Short History...

It is possible to date this pendant to the mid 19th century due to the hairstyle and gown of the lady in the portrait.

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.

    1950s Green Enamel and Glass Vintage Statement Panel Necklace

    £95.00

    This striking and fresh necklace was created in the 1950s and was most likely made in Limoges, France.

    Condition Report:

    Good - Some rubbing and chipping to the enamel around the edges of some of the panels. Also, whilst the necklace chain is from the 1950s, it is not original to the piece. It is, however, in keeping with the design of the necklace.

        Vintage Art Deco Style Chain Mail and Enamel Tie Design Necklace

        £175.00

        This striking necklace most likely dates from the Art Deco revival of the 1970s. There's also a chance that this could be an original Art Deco piece too. However, this is difficult to determine. 

        Condition Report:

        Very Good - Some wear to the enamel in a couple of small areas. This is only apparent upon very close inspection and does not detract from the appeal of the piece.
