【Trifari Two-Tone Sculptural Leaf Clip Brooch - Patented Design】 Vintage American Antique Jewelry

【Trifari Two-Tone Sculptural Leaf Clip Brooch - Patented Design】 This nearly century-old piece hails from the early days of Trifari. This creation showcases the curves and dimensionality of a leaf through gold and silver tones. The lines outlined by the rhinestones on the side and the intricate, curled cut-out design on the leaf rival fine jewelry. This is all thanks to the company's chief designer, Alfred Philippe, from France. From 1930 to 1968, Alfred Philippe also contributed to jewelry design for Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels. The invisible setting he developed for Van Cleef & Arpels was a level of craftsmanship and technique never seen before. After Alfred Philippe joined Trifari, he elevated the company's jewelry manufacturing to a highly refined and opulent standard. Today, AP's creations hold significant collector's value.
