We have the very same Trifari with a Crown clip earrings, with rhinestones. Patented... hese vintage Trifari clip-on earrings were designed by Alfred Philippe and date to 1947-1952. They are fashioned in a floral spray which reminds us of snowdrop flowers with the diamantes representing the flower heads. These are gold plated on base metal and are in very good vintage condition with just the tiniest amount of gold plating loss commensurate with age. Marked with the Crown Trifari symbol and Pat Pending. The hiring of French designer Alfred Philippe as head designer in 1930 was pivotal to Trifari’s success. A master craftsman who had worked with both Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, Philippe set about establishing the same high-quality standards of materials and craftsmanship in the design of fashion jewelry and trained other Trifari artisans to do the same. Settings were delicate; crystals were hand set; designs, which sometimes featured dazzling floral motifs or exquisite depictions of marine life, were sophisticated and elegant, having both the look and feel of fine jewelry. First Lady Mamie Eisenhower wore a Trifari parure of faux pearls to her husband’s presidential inauguration in 1953 and Trifari glass pearls to his inaugural ball in 1957. unquote... copied from the same design clip earrings online.... filed 3 2024 inv THE EARRINGS ARE ABOUT 1.25 INCHES LONG very pretty
