TRIFARI VINTAGE BROOCH - GOLD TONE LEAF SPRAY WITH FAUX PEARLS

A classic Trifari brooch in a gold tone metal with faux pearls and leaves.  This dates between 1955-1970.  I can be accurate about this as the copyright symbol on the back was not introduced until 1955 and the crown on top of the T in Trifari disappeared after 1970.  It is called a Crown Trifari and these earlier pieces are more sought after.  Price £68 ref: 3234 D20/32
