Vintage DeLillo Goldtone Faux-Jade Two Clam Shells Hair or Scarf Clip

About the Item

1970s goldtone two overlapping clam shells with prong set small round faux-jade around the edges hair or scarf clip with two prongs on the back that can be squeezed to open or close. I believe it is a hair clip, but could be used as a scarf clip as well. Marked "deLillo" on a cartouche on the back. Measures: 1 3/4 inches long by 1 5/8 inches wide. Condition: Very good; minor wear to back. William de Lillo was born in Belgium and moved to NYC in the 1950s. He worked with Tiffany's, Cartier, Miriam Haskell and Harry Winston before meeting his partner Robert Clark at Miriam Haskell. Together they started William De Lillo Ltd in 1969. The jewelry was designed to be unisex, with the idea that necklaces should replace ties. The collections were very limited and only sold at high end stores. They closed the company in 1976, when William and Robert moved to France, where they then went on to collaborate with couture fashion houses like Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Nina Ricci and Schiaparelli. Some of their clients included the Duchess of Windsor and Elizabeth Taylor.
