The Details...

This statement necklace is constructed from gilded metal. It features a dramatic scale of bar chain. Suspended from this, with a large bolt ring, is an oval locket detailed with a wheat and sickle motif. This motif is set with small, round paste stones and seed pearls. The locket is lined with purple velvet. The chain measures approximately 51cm. The locket measures 5cm x 4cm. 

A Short History...

The wheatsheaf was also a very popular motif in victorian mourning and sentimental jewellery. Because wheat is harvested and then re-sown in the spring, it is used to symbolise the renewal or resurrection of the soul. 

Wear it With...

Add other charms to the bolt ring of this piece to compliment this stylish locket.

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.
