Vintage fur clip duette pin, ice clear rhinestones on silver tone in an asymmetric bow design, 1930s

Beautiful vintage duette fur clip brooch/pin from around the 1930s. This is one of the prettiest and most intricate designs I've seen in a costume duette - the detailed bow design has two parts that are not symmetrical but work both separately and together.

This is a cleverly constructed piece in which two identical dress/fur clips fit onto a brooch frame. It can be dismantled so that you have two dress clips that can be worn on clothing, shoes or in the hair. This example is slightly more unusual in that these are fur clips, each with double-pronged pins on the back, originally intended to bury well into bulky fur stoles or coats.

The duette is in good vintage condition with all rhinestones present, so it has been well looked after. When together as a brooch, it has a length of about 2 1/4 inches and a width of about 1 3/4 inches. It fastens with a simple, old 'C' hook clasp and pin.
