Apollo Speaks
On this piece
☉
The Starflight series was among the last work Alfred Philippe completed for Trifari, and it has the confidence of a designer with nothing left to prove: a burst of rhodium-plated spokes set with sapphire blue and crystal rhinestones throughout, built to read as an explosion 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 on the reverse with the Crown Trifari mark and measures 2 3/8 inches across from every side. Excellent vintage condition.
