This elegant vintage brooch by Trifari is a celebrated design by Alfred Philippe, created in 1953 and associated with Trifari’s iconic Flirtation collection. Featuring gracefully curving gold-tone stems adorned with rich emerald-green marquise rhinestones and clear crystal accents, the brooch captures the refined glamour of mid-century American costume jewelry.
The sculptural floral composition reflects Philippe’s mastery of balance and movement, with leaf-shaped clusters framed by sparkling clear stones that add depth and brilliance. This design was featured in Trifari’s 1953 holiday advertisement, famously captioned “She will know it’s Christmas when you give her Jewels by Trifari,” making it a highly desirable piece for collectors of historically documented jewelry.
Elegant yet timeless, this brooch wears beautifully on knitwear, coats, dresses, or lapels and remains a striking example of Trifari’s golden era craftsmanship.
