After researching British patents, we found the patent number on this clip was issued in 1934. As designers were not signing most of their pieces back then, we are unsure of who manufactured this exquisite piece. Coro opened their Canadian facilities in the late 30's and since this was from a Canadian estate, it quite possibly could be theirs. Considering it is about 70 years old, and has remained in very good condition ever since, this 2 1/8" x 1 3/8" vintage duette definitely screams designer all the way. The plating is shiney with no pitting or loss. The faux pearls have minimal blemishes and all but one of the paves are present. There are paves between the pearls and over 200 in total along with four baguettes where the two dress clips are meeting. The clips work perfectly as does the pin mechanism. This duette is in very good condition with only minor yellowing to the paves but will definitely not disappoint.
