The chicest French secret for transforming any shoe. This sparkling pair of shoe clips by Bluette of France features a cluster of prong-set clear rhinestones in bright gold tone settings — a classic diamond-shaped arrangement that catches light beautifully from every angle. The spring-back clips are the signature Bluette design: secure enough to stay in place all evening, yet gentle enough not to damage delicate shoe fabric or leather. Both clips are stamped "Bluette Made in France" on the back.
Shoe clips allow a single pair of plain pumps or heels to become a completely different shoe, a beloved trick of mid-century French style that is very much back in fashion.
These are a natural for bridal styling. Clipped to white or ivory heels, they add instant glamour without committing to embellished shoes. They work equally well on evening pumps, ballet flats, or even a simple handbag or scarf clasp.

Bluette was incorporated in January 1972 by Monsieur Robert Bluette in France, and operated until 2002, becoming one of the most notable costume jewelry companies specializing in shoe clips. Their craftsmen used gold and silver tone metal alloys, Swarovski crystals, and rhinestones, and the marking always included "Bluette Made in France."
