Duette Brooch

[thronesriver]

Signed "Pat Pend".  When disassembled, the two pieces do not have clips, & everying thing is soldered, nothing moveable.   Is there missing pieces?

Thanks.

There is a separate brooch clip back that the pieces fit in. If you google "coro duette brooch clip" and look at images, scroll down, and there is a photo of the brooch clip along with the other pieces. Sometimes you can find your missing piece for sale on ebay. Hope this helps. Your brooch is lovely!

You can also try search from Trifari KTF Clipmates Brooch. I sold one years ago and it was missing some stones but was gorgeous. It didn't say Trifari on it just KTF and was very hard to find . It also said Clipmates which was also hard to find on it .

Hi everyone,

I found this thread re: a similar brooch on the forum from Aug. 2015:    https://community.ebay.com/t5/Jewelry-Gemstones-Board-Group/Looks-like-Rhinestone-Duette-Dress-Clip-...   -  It was suggested that perhaps the brooch was part of a set, that the "clip" pieces actually slid on a bracelet. 

Thanks
