Historical Context:
These magnificent pieces are known as fur clips or dress clips. They emerged as a huge fashion trend in the late 1920s and exploded in popularity throughout the 1930s and 1940s. Unlike traditional brooches, these clips were ingeniously designed with a strong, hinged mechanism to securely grasp onto heavier fabrics like fur coats, wool jackets, or even thick silk dresses without causing damage. This made them incredibly versatile! Women would often wear them symmetrically on either side of a dress neckline, on the lapel of a suit, or even clipped onto hats or gloves.
