Trifari Crown Clip Pin A Philippe Empress Eugenie Series Cobalt Blue Glass Pearl

Trifari Crown Clip Pin A Philippe Empress Eugenie Series Cobalt Blue Glass Pearl. This is a vintage Trifari Crown dress / fur clip pin that measures 3" x 1 1/2".

It was designed by Alfred Philippe of Trifari in the 1940's and was in the Empress Eugenie Series. The pin features clear rhinestones and cobalt blue glass balls in graduating pattern. This is a two-tone metal pin. The back is marked by maker, " Trifari" (Crown). There is some blue enamel chipping. Some rhinestones have darkened with age but I don't see any missing. There is some wear to the gold tone finish in highlight areas. The genuine pearl is probably a replacement for the faux pearls used in the Trifari designs or a replacement for a blue glass ball. In researching this item I found the patent filed by Alfred Philippe on July 5, 1940.

An advertisement from the store showed illustration with style name, "Rocco". There is a version of this design with all faux pearls called, "Lily of the Valley". My photos are of the actual item you are getting. See our store for other interesting handcrafted and vintage jewelry.
