Antique Art Deco Pair of Platinum and Diamond Petite Dress Clips, with Box
Effortless, Chic.
A charming pair of Art Deco dress clips, fashioned in platinum, white gold, and diamonds with sapphire accents.
These petite ornaments have a stylized geometric form suggestive of ribbon ends, their silhouettes softened by scalloped edges and delicate millegrain detailing. Each is set throughout with sparkling white diamonds, with three pear-shaped blue sapphires arranged as a tiny clover. Another lovely detail? The finely engraved sides — not readily visible to the observer, but known to the wearer.
It’s a minor miracle these matching clips have stayed together for a century. We see them as decorative accents on collars, lapels, or necklines. Anchoring the straps of a sleeveless dress. We also see them at shirt cuffs, pockets, on a belt cinching the waist, a scarf, or even on a headband. Wear them on opposite sides or next to each other. We have not encountered clips on quite this scale before, and find their smaller size makes them particularly wearable — perfect for every day as well as special occasions.
Each ornament has a gently curved profile and is fitted with a hinged, double-pronged mechanism that snaps securely closed. The construction allows the clips to be attached to the edge of a garment (as shown) without piercing the fabric. Alternatively, the prongs can be inserted through the fabric, allowing the ornaments to be positioned anywhere on a garment.
We will include a vintage blue velvet-lined box (not the original).
Unmarked.
Platinum, 14k white gold (prongs), diamond, sapphire.
Dimensions and weight:
● 19.1 mm long (not including prongs)
● 11.6 mm wide
● 4.8 mm deep
● 1.4 ctw diamond (estimated total for pair)
● 7.6 grams (total for pair)
Period: Art Deco (1920s-30s)
*Please note that all dimensions and weights are approximate. Age commensurate wear may be present. Upon close inspection, one diamond on the reverse of one clip has an additional bezel surrounding its setting, and the bezel is slightly darker in color. This does not affect the appearance of the clip when worn. The tiny sapphires have not been tested to determine whether they are natural or synthetic, both of which would be period appropriate.
*For deliveries outside of the continental U.S., please contact us for shipping information.
