Collection: Brooches & Dress Clips

This collection of vintage McClelland Barclay Art Deco brooches and dress clips features a variety of gold-plated designs with clear and coloured rhinestones. Also find rhodium plated metal, or in more rare silvertone metal. 

A layered gold-plated and diamanté maple leaf brooch is a glamorous fall accessory! (This maple leaf design is also available in different sizes, or as a pair.)

In sterling silver or sterling vermeil, find very different brooch designs with flora and fauna and sea creature motifs. 

How to wear vintage brooches and dress clips: Some brooches have bales which allow them to be worn on a chain or cord as a pendant necklace. And you can be creative in how you wear dress clips be pinned to a collar, sweater, scarf, or hat. Many of these designs are also available as bracelets or necklaces.
