Before brooches politely pinned themselves in place, dress clips arrived with hardware.
This vintage dress clip has an openwork silver-tone frame, deep blue faceted stones, and a clear rhinestone floral center. The hinged clip mechanism on the back identifies it as a dress or fur clip rather than a conventional brooch, a style especially associated with the 1930s and 1940s.
It has exactly the right amount of sparkle for a lapel, scarf, neckline, hat, or whatever else you decide deserves dramatic blue rhinestones. The metal has darkened with age, which gives the piece a lovely contrast against the stones.
Condition: Good vintage condition with darkened patina, finish wear, and age-related surface marks. Stones appear present in the photographed front. Clip mechanism is intact in photos.
