Art Deco period, 1930s Circular magic-close brooch-clip in platinum 850‰ and white gold 750‰ with openwork decoration of stylized ribboned scrolls entirely set with half-cut and baguette-cut diamonds.

Adapted to the fashion and preciousness of the Art Deco period, the clip offers an infinite number of ways to wear it, on clothes, hats or as an evening bag clasp. Our brooch model can be compared with creations from the same period by Van Cleef & Arpels. Created in 1930, the "Cercle" clip is a key piece in the history of Van Cleef & Arpels. The Atelier des frères Rubel, closely linked to the history of the House of Van Cleef & Arpels both in France and in its development in the United States, was the manufacturer of this clip model, which can feature a wide variety of decorations and precious materials.
