KTF 1939 Alfred Philippe Beetle Bug Fur Clip

If you like bugs, this little fellow is charming. Designed sometime before 1939 (based on the signature) by Alfred Philippe who was the chief designer for Trifari. It has a most unusual glass stone for its body....it's almost cylindrical and is a very deep blue. The stone sits atop the rhodium plated metal frame that is accented with clear crystals and has 2 tiny emerald green stones for eyes. The clip is a little loose but it holds and the plating is in excellent condition. The crystals still look bright and sparkly with only a few of them starting to darken with age. It measures 1.5" x 1.25" and is signed "KTF".
