Vintage Crown TRIFARI Alfred Philippe Under The Sea Collection Octopus Brooch

Crown TRIFARI Alfred Philippe Under The Sea Collection Amazing Octopus. Please see all of the images as they are a major part of the description. You are getting the exact brooch you see listed. Images may show wear/condition, details, maker mark and/or branding, approximate measurements and other details. Some images may have been magnified to show you details.

I use a penny as a prop to help you gauge the size. Unless mentioned in the written description, the colors on my screen are the colors of the piece as I see it. Please note: I know the images look like the brooch is 2 different shades. The lighter share of the enamel is when I was holding the brooch up to a window. The darker share is when it was out of the sun on a deck.

I believe this is from the 1960s collection titled "Under the Sea" by Alfred Philippe. At the time of this listing, I haven't found any other similar brooch actively for sale.. To me, this cutie is in excellent vintage condition. The rhinestones aren't as sparkling as they once probably were, but I see very little wear and no noticeable flaws.

Rarely do I come across a piece as detailed as this in such fine condition; however, please look at the photos carefully so you can be the judge as to its condition. To me, this is definitely a piece for a serious collector. This brooch would make a wonderful gift for any true Trifari fan or collector or would be a wonderful addition to your ever growing collection. Thanks so much for looking! Vintage or preowned jewelry typically shows wear constant with its age. That is why we love it so much. It is not new or professionally cleaned and I have no idea where it has been before I received it. Most of the time, I try not to disturb any vintage/preowned jewelry by cleaning and/or polishing it in order to keep it in its original patina leaving it to your discretion.

T want to take a chance ruining something. Depending on your own taste, you can either clean or polish it or keep it in its original state.
