The Details...

This bracelet and earrings are constructed from Sterling Silver plated brass. They are detailed with charms inspired by East Asia, which feature symbols, lanterns, dragons, Bhudda and pagodas. The links of the bracelet have a hammered finish and the charms are accented with coloured glass beads. The bracelet fastens with a bolt ring and the earrings are clip on. The bracelet is stamped 'NAPIER' on the bolt ring. The bracelet is 18cm in length. The earrings measure 5cm x 2.5cm. 

A Short History...

In the 1950s, the charm bracelet became one of the most popular forms of jewellery. The Napier company catered for this trend by creating a range of whimsical charm bracelets throughout the decade. Introduced in 1958, the 'Shangri-La' bracelet was Napier's best seller and was probably designed by their head designer, Eugene Bertoli. A gold version of this charm bracelet features in the book 'The Napier Company' by Melinda L. Lewis.

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.
