Above the word Trifari, on the first center facet is the number "23". This is a beautiful signature piece of early vintage Trifari. Given their symbol was a crown they made crown brooches spectacular with lots of sparkle and vivid colored stones. Please let me know if you have any questions. I love vintage costume jewelry.
