1930Double-clip brooch
Dense concentrations of precious stones were characteristic of the jewellery of the 1920s and 1930s. They were ranked together in geometric patterns and held by the most delicate and discreet platinum settings. This double-clip brooch is one of the most distinctive forms of the period. It can be separated into two identical halves, worn on facing lapels or on opposite sides of a neckline.
