Rare vintage possibly Crown Trifari Alfred Philippe pale blue poured glass & pink rhinestone gold tone floral choker necklace, unsigned
Stunning baby blue poured glass, pink rhinestone and gold tone floral choker necklace - unsigned but possibly by Trifari as they were the makers known to produce a wide range of this type of piece from the 1940s onwards, with different shaped glass petals.
There are many similar pieces online either signed Trifari, or seen in old Trifari magazine advertisements or patent applications. However, the shape of the glass petals is usually slightly different from those in this necklace - less heart-shaped. In this listing, I have included as the last picture some examples of pieces - all fur clips / pins - with exactly the same shape of glass petals. None of these clips is signed, so I am still wondering if these are by Trifari or some other maker. Alfred Philippe for Trifari patented a very similar design in 1941. Let me know if you have further information!
The necklace has a length of 16 inches and fastens with a secure, old-style spring ring clasp. It is sold here in the pictured vintage jeweller's presentation box, which is in original vintage condition. The necklace is in good vintage condition. On the reverse, you can see slight age-related rubbing to the gold tone, much less noticeable on the front surface.
