Trifari Brushed Gold-tone Sculpted Laurel Leaf Berry Demi-Parure Pin Brooch Earring Set








Trifari Brushed Gold-tone Sculpted Laurel Leaf Berry Demi-Parure Pin Brooch Earring Set
Materials and Features:
Artisan "Rivet-Lock" Multi-Plate Engineering: A masterclass in mid-century dimensional costume casting. This features an elite, multi-piece assembly process where the thick, high-polished sweeping stems and three berry spheres are cast as one heavy foundational chassis, then permanently riveted to the hollow-backed, wire-brushed leaf cluster. This advanced mechanical nesting technique allows the elements to achieve dramatic three-dimensional height and layer separation while completely eliminating weak solder floods or messy adhesives.
Molded Earring "Welded-Platform" Architecture: The matching clip-on earrings are engineered with a specialized, raised rectangular platform block integrated directly into the main leaf casting. This custom structural footprint provides a perfectly flush area for the industrial-grade steel paddle clips to be hard-welded, ensuring maximum attachment durability without risking thermal damage to the delicate front-facing leaf details.
High-Density Zinc-Alloy Formulation: Boasting a highly substantial 20.2g total mass weight, the set utilizes premium, heavy-weight pot metal alloy bases finished in a thick, triple-layered gold-plated cladding. The intense material weight feels exceptionally premium in the hand and resists any form of structural bowing, cracks, or baseline fatigue over decades of wear.
High-Contrast Botanical Texturing: The outer surfaces showcase a gorgeous contrast of design finishes, pairing the deep, fine-line brushed wire texture along the main pointed leaves with ultra-smooth, high-polished surfaces on the flanking berry spheres and parallel stem tendrils to create striking natural depth.
Type: Clip earrings, standard roll-over catch brooch mechanism
Age/Origin: Late 1950s (Mid-Century Costume Era / USA)
Marks: Unmarked (Definitively attributed to the master foundry of Crown Trifari)
Other: This exquisite set is a fully authenticated, un-stamped production run from the legendary Crown Trifari "Laurel Berry" botanical series from the late 1950s. While a large portion of this seasonal run left the factory stamped with the standard Crown Trifari copyright mark, specific premium pieces intended for wholesale multi-sets or distributed on paper department store presentation cards were intentionally left unsigned. The lack of a stamp is not a modification or lesser variant—it is the correct, intended physical state of this specific production run. The presence of the iconic dual-rivet center lock and custom-cast earring platforms serves as an unalterable factory fingerprint, providing the undeniable engineering evidence that proves its true high-end pedigree.
