Great goldplated rhinestone Coro Camelia fur clips duette. This duette is unmarked, but is in exact match for the 1940s single brooch patented by Adolf Katz in 1949 for Coro (see photo) under the patent number 154396. The duette attachment is present and in working order, as are the fur clips on each piece. Taken apart, each camelia can be worn separately. The duette measures just shy of 2"; each fur clip measures approximately 1". The condition is very good, with a few rhinestones missing. I would be happy to send this piece out for repair for an additional $10.00. It is a wonderful piece of vintage costume jewelry!
The patent information comes from jewelrypatents.com, a site that is devoted to vintage jewelry patent information and maintained by James Katz, owner of Jewelry and Objects of Virtu. His service is invaluable to those of us who collect and sell vintage costume jewelry and much appreciated by all. .
