twin chrome barrettes
barrette

"a small, decorative piece of ... metal..."
OK, normally meaning a hairslide, but refined and sufficiently obscure to work in this context.
Alternatively, your own suggestion of (decorative) elements.

They are not flics as they run across rather than outside. Accents is a direct translation of Akzente and therefore constitutes Denglisch.

chromed logo
I would not try to translate "Spange" as this company logo is only shaped like a brace but is not a brace, clamp or similar. Moreover, all found translations are describing tools or mechanism, even in jewellery.

Note from asker:
| The logo is inside the space delimited by the Spangen – two different things. |
