Collectible Alfred Philippe Crown Trifari Diamante Brooch Pin Pat Pend
Very rare Alfred Philippe for Trifari 3D 2 Tier round high domed clear rhinestone silver rodium plated brooch pin. This one is very rare and collectible piece of jewelry.
It is 1 5/8 in diameter and it weighs 1 oz. It is a vintage item in good condition. In 1930 Trifari hired Alfred Philippe as head designer, and that is when the company really began to take off. Philippe's background designing very high end fine jewelry for firms like Cartier and Van Cleef and Arples brought a wonderful sense of luxury and style to the company.
The designs he created for Trifari vintage jewelry have the style and glamour of fine jewelry and were very popular. During the 1930s and 1940s "diamante" jewelry was the most sought after style. These pieces had the look of diamonds and other precious gems with metals that resembled gold and silver or platinum. The earlier Art Deco designs featured geometric shapes, while later pieces were very ornate with scrolls and floral sprays, often with colorful enameling.
Dress clips were very popular, and many costume jewelry firms, including Trifari, made beautiful dress clips that had the look of fine jewelry and diamonds.
