Coro Duette Brooch – Navette shape, divisible into two lapel clips, patent no. 1852168

This exceptional brooch in an elegant navette shape is a signed original by Coro Duette – one of the most innovative concepts in the history of costume jewelry. Under patent number 1852168 (registered in 1932), Coro protected the idea of ​​creating a brooch that could be separated into two individual lapel clips. This allowed the piece to be worn flexibly – either as an impressive brooch or as two sophisticated clips that could be attached to lapels, collars, hats, or even shoes.

Especially in the 1930s and 1940s, this versatile jewelry enjoyed great popularity: it reflected the creative spirit of the time, in which functionality and glamour formed a unity. Women appreciated its versatility, as a single piece could be styled differently depending on the occasion.

This signed Coro Duette combines technical sophistication with timeless elegance and is today a sought-after collector's item that impressively documents the innovative power of American costume jewelry.

We present a curated selection of special models from the "Costume Jewellery Connoisseur Scene" that reflect the change in style from the glamorous 1920s to the extravagant 1980s.
