FABULOUS ULTRA RARE SET CARVED BAKELITE TEAL BLUE PRYSTAL DICHROIC DRESS CLIPS

Description

Very rare carved blue teal blue bakelite or similar dress clips:
~ As fabulous as the carving work is here - the color steals the show
~ Deep rich, transparent jewel toned prystal teal blue that has dichroic or color change properties with subtle flashes of violet purple
~ Triple leaf foliage deep relief carved designs
~ These don't pass the traditional simichrome or the rub and smell tests for bakelite.  If they aren't bakelite - they are just as desirable
French bakelite, goliath, catalin, lucite or similar collectible vintage material.  You can clearly see they are carved on the front - but have a curious poured smooth jello look on the backsides.  Simichrome does react - but does not turn the classic amber shade we are familiar with - the pink cream when rubbed turns a dark dark indigo or blackish blue shade.
~ Very interesting and wildly collectible conversation pieces all around
Ready and waiting for your neckline, collection, or gift giving - you will love these clips!

Weight

Condition
:  Fantastic vintage condition - no damage to mention.  The clip back hardware is in great working order.  If I had to find a quirk to mention - the clips are set ever so slightly askew as is typical and you will see in most pairs.  The clips aren't identical in size or carving - due to the one of a kind hand carved nature,  one wouldn't expect them to be.  No chips, cracks, etc.  Intact, rare and lovely in every way
View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged. I will do my best to note anything glaring or distracting.  Please utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all.
Don't forget to check my other items ;)

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS
, PLEASE READ
:  I
reserve the right to cancel a transaction and refund your funds in full if shipments to your destination are not insurable and/or trackable.  The shipping price I charge just covers the fees to ship your package out on my end.  You most likely will have additional charges, customs fees, duties, taxes, etc from the delivery office in your region.  It is your responsibility to check on these costs beforehand if it is of concern to you.  I have no knowledge, control of, nor responsibility for paying those at all.  Be advised that you may experience delivery/customs delays, package searches, or misc red tape issues that are entirely out of my jurisdiction.  I pay additional insurance and fees on the postage funds I receive that will not be reflected/listed on your shipping tags.  I ship via international priority mail to protect us both - please don't ask for a less expensive rate, as I won't ship any other way.  I will not falsify, under value, or list contents as a gift on customs forms as that is both illegal and interferes with the proper insurance amount.  What I can and will do is include any other purchases made at the same time with no additional added shipping cost to you -
just pay a single fee and the rest ship for free
.  Makes it all seem a bit better if you can find a few things that make you smile and just have pay one flat rate to get them from me to you :)
NO WORRIES -
SMILE AND SHOP AWAY!
