Picked these up awhile back & wore them with a green sweater on St. Paddy's:

Fabulous. They look like Guilloche from the photos but I cannot tell as too far back. Sandy

Do you think they could be worn as bracelets, too?

 

[Foofoogal]

not sure why not. I think they could be utilized in all kinds of ways.

A friend of mine owns a pair of Lana Turner's shoe clips:

Two of my favourite sweater guards. Simple and sweet. ;0

They are sweet. I have one that's a pearl chain with lucite butterflies as the clips, but it is really too OTT for day wear!

Yours sounds sweet, what colour are the lucite butterflies?

Clear and studded with AB rhinestones! It looks lovely with a pale blue cashmere cardi, or a silvery grey merino one that I have.

At first, when I saw this thread, I thought, 'sure, sweater clips are cute, but when will I ever use them?'

As it turns out, I needed a pair this week! :eusa_doh:

I wore my 30s day dress to work this week but knew I would need a sweater because my cubicle is an icebox. However, the sleeves on my only work-appropriate cardigan wouldn't look very nice with the day dress flutter sleeves crammed in them. My sweater remained draped on my shoulders all day. I managed to button my sweater over my shoulders and it sort of work, but a sweater clip would have been super handy!

The deeper I get into my vintage wardrobe plan, the more things that would make vintage life easier. I'm off to search for clips.

I wanted to get a plain silver sweater guard so was delighted to see this lovely Trifari one on Etsy:

I have a few other clips but one that I really love (beautiful blue rhinestones) has these really sharp teeth on it and I would be worried that it might snag my cardigan so I don't wear it....
