MASTERPIECE CROWN TRIFARI RUBY RED INVISIBLY SET GLASS POINSETTIA FLOWER BROOCHOUR FAVORITE CROWN TRIFARI PIECE OF ALL TIME - OUR FAVORITE COSTUME JEWELRY PIECE OF ALL TIME. INCREDIBLE DESIGN, COLOR, SIZE, DIMENSIONALITY. IT HAS SHOWSTOPPING PRESENCE.
AND IT IS LIKELY NOT JUST US. WHEN FAMED JEWELRY AUTHOR JUDITH MILLER COMPILED HER SEMINAL BOOK ‘COSTUME JEWELRY’ SHE DECIDED TO PUT A LARGER THAN LIFE PICTURE OF A SINGLE PIECE OF COSTUME JEWELRY ON THE COVER WHEREAS OTHER JEWELRY BOOKS HAVE TENDED TO USE COMPILATIONS OF MANY BEAUTIFUL PIECES - AND OF COURSE SHE SELECTED THIS BROOCH IN THIS VERY COLOR TO BE THE STAR.
THIS BROOCH IS A MASTERPIECE WORK BY RENOWNED JEWELRY DESIGNER ALFRED PHILIPPE, WHO BROUGHT HIS IMMEASURABLE DESIGNING TALENTS TO TRIFARI HAVING PREVIOUSLY WORKED FOR CARTIER AND VAN CLEEF & ARPELS (VC & A). VC & A WERE AMONG THE FIRST IN 1933 TO BEGIN USING THE INVISIBLE SETTING WHICH THEY CALLED “SERTI MYSTERIEUX” - THE MYSTERY SETTING. THEY USED IT TO CREATE MANY OF THEIR MOST SHOW STOPPING PIECES OF ALL TIME WHICH TODAY SELL IN THE HIGH SIX FIGURE RANGE - MANY ARE NOT EVEN ON THE MARKET BECAUSE THEY ARE RIGHTFULLY NOW SAFELY HOUSED IN MUSEUMS.
PHILIPPE WAS ABLE TO BRING A SIMILAR MYSTERY SETTING LOOK BY HAVING TRIFARI WORK WITH MASTER GLASS MAKERS TO RECREATE THE LOOK IN A UNITARY PIECE OF GLASS. A HIGHLY EXPENSIVE UNDERTAKING, TRIFARI MADE ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER OF THESE PIECES. AS COLLECTOR’S WELL KNOW, AS A RESULT, THESE SPECIALTY PIECES HAVE BECOME SCARCE AND HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE - WE HAVE SEVERAL CURRENTLY FOR SALE ELSEWHERE ON , BUT TOWERING ABOVE THEM ALL IN OUR OPINION IS THE PIECE BEFORE YOU.
THE BROOCH IS IN EXCELLENT VINTAGE CONDITION.
THE BROOCH IS SIGNED WITH THE CROWN TRIFARI MARK ON THE REVERSE.MEASUREMENTS:
THE BROOCH IS 3” WIDE AND 3” TALL.PLEASE NOTE THIS ITEM ONLY SHIPS TO CONFIRMED VERIFIED RESIDENTIAL ADDRESSES IN THE UNITED STATES.
