Traditionally, the designer created dress accessories such as floral dress clips and Art Deco scarf holders.

The markings on the back of each item included “Natty Creations” and a patent number. Thanks to this number, connoisseurs of vintage jewelry and just lovers of vintage jewelry can determine the date of manufacture of the product.
