Magnificent white gold estate Retro double clips with diamonds

Here we have a beautiful pair of double clips made in a way that the best French jewelry houses could be jealous for. Strangely enough it is made in Egypt, not the first place one would think about when looking at the quality of these jewels.

Double clips are two clips that can be worn close to each other as a brooch or separated into two individual clips, for example on either side of a decolletage or on both lapels of a suit.
