Vintage Trifari Crown Alfred Philippe 1950 Pave & Baguette Rhinestone Brooch / Fur Clip

This exquisite Vintage Trifari Crown Brooch and Fur Clip is an early Alfred Philippe creation from 1950 — a refined, sculptural design that captures the elegance of mid‑century couture jewelry. The piece features a rhodium‑plated floral‑inspired silhouette, set with brilliant pave and baguette rhinestones that arc and taper in Philippe’s signature architectural style.

Signed Trifari with the crown mark and “Pat. Pend.”, this brooch was produced before the official patent was granted — part of the first manufacturing run of the design. (U.S. Patent 159,526 was filed March 10 1950 and granted August 1 1950; a copy of the patent is included in the listing.)

All original stones are present except for five baguette rhinestones, which have been replaced with vintage stones to preserve the piece’s period‑correct brilliance and symmetry.
Very good vintage condition. Rhodium plating retains excellent shine; stones are bright and secure; replaced baguettes blend with the original layout.
