Description: gold plated sterling, rhinestones. The mechanism appears to be custom made, of more substantial construction than Coro's designs, and lacking the Coro duette marks. It fits the clips precisely, and was probably made to hold them with the flowers pointing upwards (the prongs are designed to have the flowers pointing down, as was probably the original Coro duette mechanism)
Marked: Corocraft Sterling with Pegasus (one clip); Sterling (on clips); mechanism marked 925 in an oval
Reference: Brunialti, American Costume Jewelry - Art and Industry (2008) Vol 1 p 93, mark #8, dating this to 1942-45
