HC HATTIE CARNEGIE royal king and queen fur clips, regal with pearlized bellies, clear rhinestone

Designer: Carnegie
Price: $898.00
Description HC HATTIE CARNEGIE royal king and queen fur clips with pearlized bellies and clear rhinestone accents in a lovely matte gold tone setting and made in about 1945.  Both have the earlier "HC" mark for Hattie Carnegie on the back.

The 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..     View  View
