A Retro double clip brooch in warm rose and yellow gold, the design sweeping into scrolled ribbons crowned with ruby flowerheads and underlined by channels of calibré emeralds and baguette diamonds.
The real charm is the mechanism: the brooch lifts apart into two matching dress clips, each fully finished and wearable alone on a neckline, pocket or hat, then slots back into its frame to be worn as a single bold brooch. Double clips were the great fashionable invention of the 1930s and 40s, and a working example with all its stones intact is increasingly uncommon.
Rose gold, ruby red and emerald green together are the signature Retro palette, confident, colourful jewellery made to be seen.
