SALE Crown Trifari Alfred Philippe Clair De Lune Hinged Bracelet in Sapphire Blue

Jewelry : Vintage : Signed

 

This is one of the most sumptuous bracelets I have ever seen. In the sought-after Clair De Lune style, it features crescent moons (or demi lunes) of glass moonstones, small clear rhinestones, and square sapphire blue rhinestones. The over all design is baroque and splendid. The bracelet is slightly oval in shape and is hinged with a safety latch closure more often found on fine jewelry. The metal is plated with gold-toned Trifanium, a process patented by Trifari in the 1940s, which gives it a rich lustre. This bracelet is a true treasure.

Bracelet has an inside diameter of about 6 ½”. It is a little under 1” wide at the widest point and is ¼ deep. All stones are pasted in and in very good condition. The metal plating all appears in good condition, and the hinge and safety latch are tight. It is marked Trifari with a crown over the “T” on the inner hinge mechanism. This beautiful bracelet is in very good to excellent vintage condition.
