Diagonal bar detailing cuts across each panel in a bold geometric line, with larger round stones set at the corners adding a focal point to the composition. The two clips interlock to form a single elongated brooch, or separate to be worn independently on a collar, lapel, or neckline — the Duette format, popularised in the 1930s and 1940s, was one of the great innovations of mid-century costume jewellery design. The reverse shows a double-pin fold-over safety clasp construction typical of the period. No hallmarks, consistent with costume jewellery of the era. Offered in excellent vintage condition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA wearable artifact for the collector of Art Deco costume jewellery and mid-century glamour.
