Many of the pieces in the Gemma Redmond Vintage collection are by renowned designers. Can you tell me about guaranteeing authenticity?

We are able to conclude the authenticity of jewellery through experience and extensive research into jeweller’s marks, design and manufacture techniques and materials used. A number of our items also have a clear provenance and all of our pieces are sourced from reputable dealers or trusted individuals, which further demonstrates their authenticity. At Gemma Redmond Vintage, we never knowingly sell replica pieces and do our utmost to guarantee the authenticity of your item. We believe in respecting the talent of designers and the heritage of brands. Consequently, if we are in any doubt about the authenticity of a product, then it does not become a part of the collection.

Highlights

Handpicked by GemmaRedmondVintage
Vintage from the 19th century
Materials: Glass
Closure: Spring ring
Style: Victorian
Necklace length: 41.5 Centimeters

This beautiful black glass locket is an entirely original, elegant antique.

Condition Report:
Very Good - There is a tiny chip to the edge of one circular and one triangular panel. This is only visible upon very close inspection and does not detract from the overall appeal of the piece.

The Details...
This necklace features faceted round and triangular French Jet (black glass) cabochons. They are attached onto a metal framework for form a fringe design necklace. The necklace fastens with a bolt ring and measures 41.5cm in length.

A Short History...
Glass has been a prevalent feature in costume pieces since the invention of jewellery, as it is an easily accessible material that can be formed into any shape and dyed any colour. Black glass was known as French Jet and was initially created in the late 1800s to replicate Whitby Jet. Black jewellery was popularised in the 1800s by Queen Victoria, who, after the death of her beloved Prince Albert, insisted on only wearing black. People wanted to emulate the style of their Queen.

Wear it With...
French jet looks fabulous on top of white t-shirts. The multi-faceted and intricate design of this piece would work particularly well with crisp white tones.

Jewellery Care...
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.
