1930s Dress Clip - Flowers and Leaves Silver and Marcasite (Sold)

Two lovely daisy type flowers with two distinct curling leaves are the highlights on this delightful dress clip from the 1930's.  The dress clip is made of '935' silver which means it is likely to have been made in Continental Europe where many of the great art deco designs, especially in jewellery, originated.  Tapering to a point, this dress clip has a border of swirled and curved lines set with natural faceted marcasites.   Marcasites are a natural gemstone - iron pyrites- and their subtle sparkle has been favoured in jewellery for hundreds of years.  Measuring a little over 1.5 inches by  just under1 inch this dress clip is in excellent condition with a super strong clawed clip to ensure it will stay securely in place.  Dress Clips are really versatile and are easy to wear over the neckline of a dress, through a buttonhole,  or in the 'v' or a lapel, on a hat band or as a hairslide or hairclip.  This dress clip is nearly 80 years old  but has such a timeless design it would look bang up to date today!  Perfect to wear, gift or add to a collection of antique and vintage silver jewellery.
