An elegant pair of Art Deco diamond dress clips which convert to a brooch.  
 
Each clip is finely diamond set within a rub over setting with a milgrain edge.
 
The clips detatch from a frame and have small spikes inside each one to hold fast to the fabric when worn.  When worn as a brooch there is a handmade safety clasp. The piece is finely made, typical of fine jewellery from the Art Deco era.
 
The dress clips are a really wearable size and one could also be used on a chain as a stylish pendant.
 
Original fitted case by Goldsmiths and Silversmiths. 
 
Dress clips were very popular items of jewellery from the 1920's to the 1950's. Hollywood played a part in spreading the trend for dress clips with stars such as Marlene Dietrich & Lana Turner wear clips on screen. This lead to women wanting to adorn their necklines, the straps of an evening gown, hat and sometimes even a bag with a glittering jeweled clip.
