Vintage Inspirations: Brilliant Baubles Boring little black dress? Bring on the bling! Get playful with colorful gems in oversized statement pieces. This week, the VFG will play with all the crayons in the box, aux couleurs vives. Color me impressed!
These pieces, in my personal collection are as colorful as they come. Based on the "tutti fruiti" Cartier designs from the 1920s, they were called "fruit salad." The first is a Mazer dress clip from 1936; the second a Trifari fur clip from 1941.
