Circa 1940 and hailing from the golden age of American costume jewelry this Trifari rhodium silver and clear crystal rhinestone convertible fur clip/brooch was designed by Alfred Philippe and is superb quality.
Elegant and dimensional it is solidly constructed in two pieces that are held together with a screw. Highly collectible and perfect for the wedding bride or simply those seeking vintage luxury.
Condition is excellent with no missing stones or wear to the rhodium plating. It measures 2-1/4" long and 1-1/2" wide and weighs 35 grams. It is signed on the back Trifari with a crown. Also signed "Corp. Pat. Pend" The dual mechanism at the back allows it to be worn as a brooch or fur clip.
