This Coro brooch is very talented. It can be worn as seen, or it can be removed from a bracket on the back and worn as two clips. Its flowers tremble (ok, wiggle) when the brooch moves. It is enameled and has lovely pave and channeled rhinestones. Each clip is marked Coro Duette. 3" by 1 5/8". Very chunky.

Beginning in approximately 1943, due to the war, Coro limited the use of hard to obtain rhinestones and created many different sterling silver designs each utilizing one one central rhinestone.

This pin is 2 1/4". It is hallmarked Coro sterling.
