This fabulous antique 1930s Coro Duette is a versatile, collectible piece of Art Deco–era costume jewelry that converts from a statement brooch into two separate dress clips. Designed with Coro’s ingenious Duette mechanism, the two matching clips lock securely into the central frame to be worn as one dramatic, symmetrical brooch, then detach easily so you can wear them as a coordinated pair on lapels, straps, pockets, a neckline, or the waistline of a dress.
As a brooch, the piece forms an elegant marquise-shaped silhouette with crisp Deco geometry and beautifully layered openwork. Sparkling rhinestones are set throughout, including a striking horizontal row of square, step-cut style stones across the center that gives the design a sleek, architectural “chrome and glass” look. When converted, each individual clip becomes a bold triangular shield form, still richly paved with rhinestones and finished with the same graphic linear details that define classic 1930s design.
The full brooch measures approximately 3.25" wide by 1.55" long when assembled. Each dress clip measures approximately 1.75" wide by 1.55" long when worn separately. All rhinestones are intact, and the set presents beautifully; please note that some stones show discoloration, which is common with age and adds to the authentic antique character. The backs show the original Duette hardware, including the removable frame and clip mechanisms, which is a big part of what makes Coro Duettes so sought after by collectors.
This is a standout piece for anyone who loves true Deco sparkle, convertible jewelry, or statement accessories with real versatility. It looks especially striking on a tailored jacket or coat, and it is equally fun styled in a modern way—split into clips on a neckline, worn on a beret, or used as accents on a ribbon belt.
