Art Deco Clip in 935 Silver, Marcasite, Single

An Art Deco clip of stepped geometric form, set throughout with marcasite with millegrain edging, and a row of larger stones to the centre panel. Fitted with a hinged, sprung jaw with serrated gripping edges. Approximately 3cm. MARKS: stamped 935. This is a silver fineness mark denoting 93.5 percent silver, finer than sterling (925), and a continental standard used principally in Germany and Austria. For marcasite jewellery it points to the German Art Deco industry. PLEASE NOTE this is a SINGLE item, not a pair. The original use of the fitting has not been established - the serrated jaw is not typical of a clip earring and suggests a tie or scarf clip.
