Trifari Petalettes Faux Turquoise Demi Parure. Lovely book piece of unsigned Trifari pins in faux turquoise molded glass. Vintage 1950 - 1953 Pins each measure approximately 2" tall. Rare to have earrings (which are signed Trifari) in the same design and color set. All four pieces are in excellent vintage condition with no cracks or damage to the glass or metal. Clip on earrings in fine working condition. Spin away!This is a book piece featured in 'Collecting Costume Jewelry' by Julia Carroll, page 236. Also in Sparkles Brown book on figural jewelry on pg. 27. According to the book, the male dancer is design patent #158126 issued to Alfred Philippe April 11, 1950 and the female dancer is design patent #157523 issued February 28, 1950. The set was produced in turquoise, white, and rose. I believe the turquoise is the most elegant.
