On this piece
The invisibly set pieces are the most prized Trifari of all, and the reason is in the making: the waffle-cut glass is held from behind so that no metal interrupts the surface, a technique modelled on the invisible settings of fine jewelry and executed here in emerald green. This circle brooch comes from the 1961 series, and it is new with its original tags. Unworn, the gold-tone still glossy, the crystal rhinestones blazing, the green waffle glass unclouded. It is signed with the Crown Trifari mark and a copyright, and measures 1 7/8 inches across from every side. Values on the invisibly set pieces have risen steadily as they have become harder and harder to find; unworn and tagged, this one is close to unrepeatable.
