Authentic CORO Duette Signed Patent Rhodium Plated 1930 Art Deco Brooch Pin Double
This antique Coro Duette brooch pin is a stunning piece of Art Deco jewelry created in 1930s. The brooch consists of two symmetrical Fur Clips and Duette mechanism that works perfectly.
The base is the rhodium plated metal and shows wonderful condition for it's age, which is between 80 and 90 years. There maybe some tiny scratches but Duette mechanism is working great and there is no rust on the hinges.
The brooch is adorned with sparkling white/colorless rhinestones. Some of crystals look slightly dimmed but overall the brooch is still bright and shiny. The round and baguette-shaped rhinestones create an intricate Art Deco pattern. They set in a "channel-set" setting. This is a stone placement technique used in Fine Jewelry design, when gemstones are nestled into a "channel" or groove crafted within the piece. Chief Designer Adolf Katz used this fine techique to create his marvelous Costume Jewelry masterpieces for Coro Company in 30's.
