Coro duette brooch is a sparkling beauty; I have a smaller one but this one is huge and the rhinestones seems to be all there.
Whiting and Davis mesh bag, the patterns looks very geometric maybe from Poiret period, 20s.

Doubly gorgeous! The mesh bag has a beautiful pattern, and the Coro Duette is a classic
Thank you!
Tigra, Cool. :-)
I found a twin of your Whiting & Davis bag that has an original sales receipt from 1931:

There is a patent for coloring a mesh bag that dates to 1927:

As to the Coro Duette separating brooch, this looks like a twin:

It shows closeups of the patent numbers, and the patent images.
Here's they are:

I couldn't find a design pattern that's an exact twin, but this one is close:

Thank you so much for the information, it’s awesome!
Tigra, You're welcome. :-)
I actually found more than one twin W&D enameled mesh bag out there, but I felt fortunate to find the one with the receipt, because that helps date it.
I also like patents, not only because they're generally interesting, but they too help date things.
Here's more Whiting & Davis info:

Thank you! The more the better, I love patents too. That example with the receipt is so neat! It’s always nice to know who owned before you :)
Tigra, You're welcome again. :-)
There are more than a few W&D patents out there.
Dunno if any of these ones apply to your hand bag, but they're for hand bag frame and clasps:

This relatively modern patent (1984) gave me a start, because I recognized it immediately as a butcher's protective glove:
