FAQs

A duette brooch is a convertible piece of jewellery introduced during the 1930s, consisting of two separate dress or fur clips mounted onto a single metal frame. Wearers can wear the piece as a unified brooch or detach the clips to wear them individually on lapels, collars, or shoes.

Art Deco costume jewellery typically utilised silver, white metal alloys, or rhodium-plated brass set with faceted paste stones, which are high-lead glass cut to imitate diamonds. Baguette and round brilliant cut paste stones were common, held in pave or claw settings.

Authentic pieces from the 1930s display geometric patterns, stepped forms, and mixed stone cuts such as baguettes and round pastes. Look for functional spring-hinged clip backs, dual-prong fur mechanisms, or frame patent numbers stamped on the reverse.

Vintage jewellery pieces can be incorporated into interior spaces by displaying them inside glass-topped shadow frames, resting them on marble trays, or placing them on velvet dressing table stands as tactile decorative accents.

Avoid submerging paste jewellery in water or liquid cleaners, as moisture can damage the foil backings behind the glass stones and cause discolouration. Clean gently using a dry, soft microfiber cloth and store in a dry location away from humidity.
