    Description

    This auction is for a pair of gorgeous vintage, WWII era pierced plastic dress clips or brooches, made by Miriam Haskell.  The metal back plates disappeared due to the shortage of metal during the war, and by 1941 most pins and clips were wired or sewn on a pierced plastic backplate.  The clips or broochs are made with tiny wooden beads, topped with coral, turquoise blue and lavender colored seed beads.  Each tiny strand of beads is wired to the back of the clips, One flower with blue beads looks like it may be missing a strand at the base, but am not sure because the beads can be moved around.  Each clip is decorated with glass molded leaves.  Rare and gorgeous pair of Haskell dress clips or brooches.  Each clip is a little over 2" from top to bottom and 2 1/2" across.  Fabulous clips with similar design listed in the Haskell Jewelry book.
    PLEASE NOTE:  Although all my jewelry listings will be marked that returns are not accepted (due to eBay's change of policy from 14 day returns to 30 days). If an item is damaged in shipment or there are any condition issues that I missed, please send me a note and a photograph.  No returns will be accepted without a photograph.   We will not accept returns because an item "does not fit" or because the buyer "changed their mind".
    We only ship our jewelry in a box, so be sure to check out our other listings and our eBay store items (over 1950, all on sale).  Several pieces of jewelry will ship for the same price as one piece, or jewelry can ship with larger pieces at no extra cost.  We don’t mark up our items by a great amount, so reasonable offers only please. We do have a layaway plan available for items or groups of items totaling 0 or more. We will only ship eBay global shipping to China, Italy, Russia and Australia due to the loss of many items in the past. I am happy to ship to third party shippers for my international clients as well.   Great low starting bid, and being sold with NO RESERVE!
