BUTTERFLY clip with aurora borealis set in gold tone, 2" by 1-1/2". Be
sure to look at the photo of the back, which has unusual double clips. It’s not
signed, but it is similar to the DeRosa patent number 2026934. Since the aurora
borealis stone weren’t invented until about 1953, it has to be that age or
newer. In order to wear this, you will need a fairly open-weave fabric so that
the legs can be "woven" into it. And don’t miss the little
red rhinestone eyes!

BLOCK Fred A Block sterling butterfly fur clip with unfoiled rhinestones
in green, golden, pale yellow and clear, all in gilt sterling, 3-1/2" by
1-1/2".
Block was a Chicago ready-to-wear maker. It is thought that his line of
jewelry was made, at least in part, by the Sandor Goldberg Company of New
York, hence you will see some of the same pieces marked "Sandor" as well.
The Vogue company made similar pieces as well. This information, can be seen
in Brunalti’s "Tribute to American Costume Jewelry" on page 141-2.

color as you can see in the photo, and the finish is a soft gold rather than
a shiny finish. View
