Ostertag Paris Diamond Double-Clip Brooch
$45,000
Interpreted by the Art Deco master jewelers at Osterag Paris, this double-clip presents a stylized composition of pure, colorless geometry which is easily broken into two separate brooches, creating a different, but equally appealing, abstract double-wing design. Clip this brooch, paired together or apart, onto dress straps or distribute them along the neckline of a gown or jacket to add sparkle and fascination, or tuck them into an updo to glamorize hair for a special event.
