These curvaceous antique clips are ultra-feminine, and they're beautifully paved with diamond pastes of a more subtle hue than modern rhinestones. All are obviously original. Because the stones are of this early type, the look is dazzling white-on-white and overall design shows Edwardian and Art Nouveau influences, along with Deco, we date the clips no later than the 1920s. Each measures about 1 1/2 inches tall and 3/4 inch wide and has four nicely sharp prongs at the back.
The metal surface appears to be rhodium, a member of the hard-wearing, tarnish-free platinum family. Condition is lovely, with only a couple of stones slightly dimmed and one darkened. Personally I love these little variations in color that prove great age, but your jeweler can easily replace the dark one for a few dollars, if it bothers you.
Glitzy clips like these once made "sweetheart" necklines sweeter. Today I love to see them flashing on lapels and pockets. They're also great as barrettes and accents for scarves, handbags, hats and shoes. You can even slip them over ribbons to wear as a dzzling necklace and bracelet set. They're endlessly versatile, which is what clips were all about!

Fancy jeweled shoes are making huge fashion news now. To get the look without breaking the bank, shoe clips are the answer. These Deco or Retro shoe clips are real dazzlers, with two rows of brilliant rhinestones all around. The elongated shape, a sort of rectangle with ears, is of course *very* Art Deco, so my best guess is that they date from the 1930s. A couple of the stones have slightly discolored with age - nothing severe enough to notice except upon close inspection. On your shoes, they'd look fine. These measure about 2" x 1". Clamps aren't hinged, but very sturdy. Overall quality is excellent; you probably can't tell from the photo, but the stones are all individually prong-set.

These beautifully formed and highly dimensional Art Deco clips are among the most versatile accessories you could own (or give). Besides looking fabulous on pockets, lapels and at the neckline of a dress, you can also clip them over ribbons to wear as pendants and use them to jazz up hatbands, belts and sashes, purses, scarves -- even shoes.
Measuring 2 inches long, they're in great working condition. Provenance is an East Coast estate and they date, obviously, from the 1920s.
