In 1944, with base metals restricted, Trifari — like the finest houses — turned to sterling silver, and Alfred Philippe used the moment to make some of his most enduring designs. This starburst brooch is one: gold vermeil over sterling silver, set with Trifari’s imported red and aquamarine-blue glass stones and rhinestones, rays bursting outward in a confident radial spray. There’s honest wear to the vermeil along the long rays — the mark of eighty years and the softer gold-wash finish of the period — with every stone still in place. It’s signed on the reverse with the Crown Trifari mark, “sterling,” and “Pat. Pend.” The sterling war-era pieces hold a special place in Trifari collecting: born of limitation, elevated by craft. A radiant, historically grounded brooch — proof that the golden age kept shining even when the gold itself was rationed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crown Trifari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46141138501689,"sku":"374635152463","price":1099.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/6105\/3497\/files\/24_57_667e51d2-3419-4fe8-8eac-c8e8b2cb7dfd.jpg?v=1782966598","url":"https:\/\/www.floridasultimatetreasures.com\/products\/1944-crown-trifari-vermeil-starburst-brooch-52463","provider":"Florida's Ultimate Treasures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
