Retro Silver Gilt Sea Shell Fur Clip by Boucher

This dramatic Retro fur clip from Boucher recalls a reimagined sea shell. The shell is scalloped sterling silver gilt, half-framed in bright red princess-cut rhinestones. A wave of white rhinestones curls over its top. A large red stone smolders at the clip's heart and small white rhinestones accent. A fur clip is a brooch that fastens with two long, hinged prongs. The sturdy prongs are intended for wear on furs but will work well on any heavy fabric; this is the perfect accent for a winter coat. This collectible piece is signed with the coveted MB mark for Marcel Boucher and the design number 2309. Circa 1940.
