These evocatively Art Deco dress clips were most likely created in 1930s Austria.
Condition Report:
Very Good - The silver frame for the baguette paste stones is ever so slightly mis-shapen. This is only visible upon very close inspection and it does not detract from the overall appeal of these clips.

The Details...
These silver dress clips are hand-set with round and baguette cut, colourless paste stones. They feature a floral design. Each clip measures 2.75cm x 2.5cm. Each clip is stamped on the reverse with '835' and 'FK'. These initials most likely refer to an Austrian maker.
A Short History...
During the 1920s and early 1930s, jewellery was influenced by the dawn of a new era. There was a push for all things modern after the shock of the First World War - people wanted to be cleansed of the old and celebrate the new. In the world of design a pure, hard-edged style was craved. This resulted in geometric and symmetrical jewellery designs, as can be seen in these beautiful dress clips.
Wear it With...
These dress clips look chic worn attached to the points of a collar on a denim or white shirt.
The jewellery within the Gemma Redmond Vintage collection has survived to this day because it has been well cared for throughout its lifetime. It is important to continue to care for the jewellery that you buy from us to ensure its continued preservation. Here are some suggestions:
- Be sure to store your jewellery within the boxes that we provide to ensure that it is protected. This is especially important when travelling with your pieces.
- Try not to get perfume or hairspray on your items. These liquids can damage the materials that our jewellery is made from.
- Try not to drop your jewellery or catch your jewellery against hard surfaces. If this happens over time, the findings and fixings can loosen and wear.
- Try not to get your jewellery wet. Some costume jewellery manufacturers utilised water soluble glue in the making of their pieces. Getting your jewellery wet could cause rhinestones and other details to fall away over time.
- If you wish to clean your jewellery, use a soft polishing cloth or a soft brush.
