1953 Trifari Emerald and Clear Rhinestone Flower Basket Brooch - Patent 170208 - Book Piece
This is a wonderful vintage Trifari brooch patented in 1953. It is shown in clear in the book 'Collecting Costume Jewelry 202' by Julia C. Carroll (2nd edition) on page 253.
The patent number is 170208. It has emerald green navettes as the flower petals with small clear rhinestones as a border. There is also a clear navette at the bottom of the flower basket.
The gold finish is in good vintage condition with light high quality wear along the top edge.
The back has the crown Trifari hallmark and Pat Pending on the back of the center flower. The backs of the flowers are rhodium and the basket and pin are gold. There is slight movement to one of the flowers if you press on it but the rivet looks fine and the flower stays in place. This brooch is in amazing condition considering it is just about 70 years old.
This would be perfect for a flower garden enthusiast or a Trifari collector. Shipping is included in the price.
