VINTAGE 1950s SIGNED CROWN TRIFARI JEWELLERY Brushed Gold Leaf Large BROOCH
Item History & Price
Welcome to Jewel Box :-)
Stunning statement necklace by the great costume jewellery House of Trifari which was worn by all the Movie Stars and Celebrities of the day. At this time it was sometimes considered infra dig to wear Costume Jewellery rather than Fine Jewellery but Trifari was one of the great Houses that broke down all those barriers. This beautiful brooch is designed as a largeconvex curving leaf which is itself made up of hundreds of tiny leaves... overlapping each other. The finish on the leaves varies from brushed gold to highly polished so this too creates wonderful texture. The colour is a beautiful mellow gold that Trifari did so well ~ being triple gold plated for longevity. The signature is on the reverse ~ so can see how fine the casting is as there is barely room for the entire signature! The brooch fastens with a good pin and roll over clasp. App 50 mm long and in excellent condition ~ any darkness in the images is reflection. So it would make a superb gift to spruce up someone's winter coat :-)

A bit about me : i worked for many years in the Antiques Trade specialising first in antique clothing and Textiles and then i specialised in Art Deco and Art Nouveau, generally glass and sculpture and metal ware. i stood at many of the top fairs eg Olympia, Claridges, The Dorchester, The NEC and bought and sold in Sothebys, Christies and Bonhams. i appeared on TV a few times as an Expert, served on Vetting Committees and so on. i gave up the Material World for a number of years whilst i concentrated on Meditation, Healing and other Spiritual endeavours but am now selling on Ebay to pay the rent :-) i really do love the pieces that pass through my hands and i enjoy 'meeting' people across the globe and feel good making them feel good. i try to follow the Reiki precepts ~ one of which is 'To earn an honest living'.
