Rare 1950s Trifari Alfred Philippe Floral Bouquet Brooch – Pat. Pending Gold-Tone with Lavender, Emerald & Clear Rhinestones

A breathtaking piece of mid-century costume jewelry history, this rare 1950s Trifari brooch is attributed to the legendary designer Alfred Philippe, whose refined, architectural approach set the standard for Trifari’s golden era of design.

This sculptural bouquet features:

• Lavender oval rhinestones that glow softly like pastel amethyst

• Emerald marquise stones that bring rich contrast and depth

• Clear baguettes and brilliant rounds that add crisp sparkle and elegant structure

Crafted in radiant gold-tone metal, each stone is individually hand-set, reflecting Philippe’s mastery of couture-inspired construction. The elongated stems and sweeping curves create graceful movement, making this an unmistakable example of Trifari’s high-style mid-century design language.

Marked “Trifari Pat. Pending” on the reverse, this brooch captures the artistry and collectability coveted by vintage jewelry enthusiasts. A statement piece for coats, lapels, evening wear, or display in a curated collection.
