About This Rhinestone Duette Brooch

A charming and highly collectible vintage accessory, combining elegant rhinestone decoration with the versatility of a classic duette design. An appealing addition for collectors of costume jewellery, vintage brooches and dress clips.

When joined, the two clips form a long, symmetrical brooch of stepped shapes and sweeping lines, with the rhinestones following the geometric pattern. The removable pin frame holds the clips firmly together, and the clips can then be lifted out and worn on their own, as you can see in the photographs.

How a Duette Works

A duette is two matching dress clips that slot into a single brooch fitting. Clip them together for one statement brooch on a lapel, or take them apart and wear one at each side of a neckline, on a pair of collar points or on a scarf. The name is closely linked with the American jewellery firm Coro, whose Duette designs were popular in the 1930s, and double clips like this became a stylish fashion of the period.

The Art Deco Style

The Art Deco style, which flourished in the 1920s and 1930s, is known for bold geometry, symmetry and glamour. This rhinestone duette brooch shows those qualities well, with its stepped outline and sparkling surface. Its pattern and its double-clip design are both typical of that look, which continues to be popular with vintage jewellery lovers today.

Wearing and Gifting

This rhinestone duette brooch gives you two ways to wear one piece of jewellery, so it suits both daytime and evening outfits. Try it on a blazer lapel or a winter coat, or use the separate clips on a plain black dress or the neckline of a jumper. It would make a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys vintage fashion or 1930s style.

Caring for Your Brooch

Rhinestones can be sensitive to moisture, so keep your rhinestone duette brooch dry and put it on after applying perfume or hairspray. Clean it gently with a soft, dry cloth or a small soft brush, and avoid silver dips and water. Store it in a soft pouch or a box, separate from other jewellery, to protect the stones and fittings.
