Rare 1948 Crown Trifari Alfred Philippe Crystal Pave Rhodium Plate Necklace 15
Very minimal signs of wear. NOTE: there is some rhodium plating missing in the deep crevices (see close up pictures). What really stands out about this necklace is the sheer glitz--practically every surface from the clasp, to the links, to the centerpiece is encrusted with crystals. There are too many to count, and we did find some missing stones and replaced them with reclaimed vintage crystals where necessary.
Stones are a stunning array of chatons and dentelles in various sizes. There are a few yellowed ones, but overall the stones are in mostly excellent condition. Aside from the crevice issue mentioned earlier, the rhodium finish looks fresh and glossy. Back of centerpiece is signed TRIFARI and PAT PENDING.
