Talisman Description

RARE 60'S CROWN TRIFARI 'ESPLANADE' GOLD-PLATED TOPAZ RHINESTONE FLORAL BROOCH OH MY GOODNESS!  A VERY RARE LARGE FLORAL BROOCH WITH BERRIES FROM TRIFARI’S SPECTACULAR ‘ESPLANADE’ COLLECTION. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FOR THE FALL SEASON. IF YOUR ARE A TRIFARI FAN OR COLLECTOR, THEN YOU KNOW THAT TRIFARI HAD MANY DIVERSE LINES OF JEWELRY CATERING TO THE EVERYDAY STYLE, ALL THE WAY TO THE SPECTACULOR AND SPECIAL. THE SPECIAL CAME OUT ONCE A YEAR AROUND THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY, IN VERY LIMITED QUANTITIES, AND ONLY DELIVERED TO A SELECT NUMBER OF STORES - THINK NEW YORK’S MACY’S FLAGSHIP DEPARTNEBT STORE AT HERALD SQUARE, OR CHICAGO’S MARSHALL FIELD'S FLAGSHIP DEPARTMENT STORE ON STATE STREET. THESE TREASURES WERE OFFERED TO THEIR MOST LOYAL CUSTOMERS ONLY ON VELOUR SIGNATURE TRIFARI TRAYS. WE BELIEVE THIS IS ONE SUCH TREASURE FROM THE 1960’S - AN INCREDIBLE DELIGHT THAT RAISES THE BAR ON COSTUME JEWELRY. AS TRIFARI FANS, WE LIKE TO ADMIRE THE BACK OF THIS CREATION ALMOST AS MUCH OF THE FRONT. LOOK AT THAT CONSTRUCTION AND WHAT IT TOOK TO FABRICATE SOMETHING WITH SO MANY ANGLES AND OPEN BACKS. THE STONESETTING ALONE - ESPECIALLY THE THIN CRYSTAL BAGUETTES - HAD TO TAKE HOURS TO COMPLETE BY ONLY THE MOST SKILLED HANDS.THE BROOCH IS IN EXCELLENT VINTAGE CONDITION WITH MINOR AGE APPROPRIATE WEAR TO SOME OF THE CRYSTAL BAGUETTES AND OTHER STONES DUE TO TIME. THIS WAS MOST LIKELY MADE IN THE EARLY TO MID 1960’S.THE BROOCH IS SIGNED ON THE REVERSE WITH THE CROWN TRIFARI MARK AND A COPYRIGHT C.MEASUREMENTS: THE BROOCH IS 2.75” WIDE AND 3 3/8” TALL.  _gsrx_vers_1436 (GS 9.0.5 (1436))
