HC HATTIE CARNEGIE royal king and queen fur clips, regal with pearlized bellies, clear rhinestoneThe king is 2-1/4" by 1-1/4", the queen 2-5/8" by 1-1/2". These are such a great regal couple and can be worn together or one at a time. In very good vintage condition, the only flaw is a bit of very light scuffing on a pearl belly, hard to notice unless you are looking very closely. There is a similar piece, an antique seal, in fine jewelry collection in the Met Museum and on their web site HERE. That one is from the 17th-18th century and made of carat gold, platinum and diamonds. Ours of course is a piece of regal looking costume jewelry, but I bet the Met Museum's seal was Carnegie's inspiration for her set, and it is shown courtesy of the Museum as the last photo here..
