A sublime Coro Duette brooch from the 1940s, also worn as double clips. The silver brooch is made of two enamelled calla lilies in baby blue and green shades with a drop pearl in their centre. The leaves are shaped as beautiful deep green ribbons, and brilliants decorate the brooch. The two flowers can be removed from the central brooch and can be worn as single or double clips to decorate the neckline of a dress, the collar of a shirt, the buttonholes of a coat or a pocket of a jacket. An exceptional and highly collectible piece of jewellery, part of the fashion history to own and wear! The brooch is numbered as evidence of its rarity.
Founded in 1901 in New York, the Coro brand became a symbol of American pop culture due to the exceptional quality of its jewellery. Its style is characterised by the use of colourful rhinestones and nature-inspired motifs, featuring flowers, horses, birds, bees, and enamels. The company also demonstrated a strong interest in technological innovation, as evidenced by the Duette patent, a mechanism that allows two clips to be combined into a single brooch. Their extremely successful designs were some of the most amazing, avant-garde, and fashionable creations of the era.
