Clip brooches or dress clips were extremely popular during the Art Deco period and remained so until around the 1950’s. Many were adaptable to form more than just one brooch. Some could be adapted to pendants and others as dress clips which would decorate the shoulders of dresses. Others may be defined as a clip-brooch because they are attached to garments with a clip rather than a pin.Below are some examples of clip brooches including a coral and diamond strawberry shaped clip brooch and a ruby mourning locket / clip brooch.
