This piece is a wonderful find – a highly collectible Art Deco double-clip brooch. The design of dozens of round clear rhinestones is accented by square rhinestones in “fruit salad” colors of red, green, topaz and purple. These colors are intentionally not symmetrical.

Two dress clips are fitted into a locking base closure mechanism to form a single unit. They can be separated by pressing down a tab on each clip and sliding it out of the base – this mechanism works very well. My photos show the two clips locked together in the closure, and also separated. This type of jewelry design is referred to as a “duette”, which is a term trademarked by Coro, but now used generically.

There are no manufacturers marks, but the patent date of #1945268 shown on the closure accurately dates this piece to 1934. The brooch measures 2-3/4 by 3/4 inches, and is in very good condition.

This item will be protectively packaged and shipped in a small box by first class mail, including postal insurance within the US. International postal insurance may be declined if not desired.

Item ID: 2003
