On this piece
☉
The Starflight series was among the last of Alfred Philippe's designs for Trifari, and this is the emerald version: rhodium silver-plated spokes set with emerald green and crystal rhinestones throughout, built to read as a burst caught at its widest moment. The Starflight pieces have become very hard to find, for the obvious reason that the people who own them keep them. It is signed with the Crown Trifari mark on the reverse and measures 2 3/8 inches across from every side. Excellent-plus vintage condition.
