Rare set of two matching early Trifari dress clips:
* Art Deco geometric design
* Lovely peek-a-boo openwork and cut outs - I think the tiny upwards pointing arrow on the very bottom is particularly charming
* Covered in round rhinestones with baguette accents
* All stones present
* Early registered design with the Trifari Krussman Fishel KTF 1935 mark
* Dress clips can be so versatile with a bit of imagination and creativity - clip on any collar, pocket, purse, necklace, satin or velvet cord as a choker, dress up a plain rhinestone necklace, use as a scarf clip, use a pair as sweater guards with a bit of chain, clip on a ribbon and tie on as a bracelet, clip on a safety pin and wear as a brooch, etc....

View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear - as most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both. Please utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all.
