Alfred Philippe 1949 Patent Crown Trifari Clover Necklace And Bracelet Set
This is an original Alfred Philippe for Crown Trifari necklace and bracelet set from 1949, featuring one of Philippe's most refined patented floral designs. The set is a striking example of Trifari's postwar craftsmanship, combining elegant structure with precise detailing and bright, high-quality rhinestones. Each piece in this matching set showcases linked openwork flowers with heart-shaped petals and sparkling rhinestone accents at the centers and tips. The gold-tone finish retains its warm mid-century glow, with excellent articulation between links. The result is a design that captures light beautifully while maintaining the bold, sculptural style that defined Alfred Philippe's late-1940s creations. Both the necklace and bracelet feature secure fold-over clasps and are marked with the Crown Trifari signature, indicating authentic production during Trifari's most collectible design era.
