A pair of unusual dress clips in silvertone metal have a large raised pale coral color plastic flower center and smaller molded flowers surrounding. Above the flowers are super-imposed antique finish metal leaves pavé in marcasites. Clips are tight fitting. These were never a socalled clip brooch or "duette".

CLP20040

Deco Rhinestone Dress Clip

Shield style typical of the Deco era, with pave round rhinestones all over, baguette stones at center. The baguettes appear somewhat cloudy on this enlarged image due partly to reflections. When seen in hand, the baguettes show slight deterioration but not as bad as the image shows. In other words, they are clearer in "real life." Circa early 1930s.

Typical silverplated potmetal cast, with long scroll-decorated clip mechanism which is very tight.
