Vintage Trifari Ming Rhinestone Swan Pin Brooch 1941 David Mir Pat Pend Huge 5in. On Sale For Limited Time!

This is considered the the ultimate piece for vintage costume jewelry collectors - The iconic 1941 Trifari Ming Swan. Designed by David Mir for. Trifari in 1940 and went into limited production in 1941 as a result there are not many available today. This jaw dropping piece is almost 5 inches tall - The brooch consists of baroque pearl, black enamel, crystal and ruby rhinestones, ruby and emerald glass cabochons, all set in a faux gold-plating.

On his head is a beautiful crown tipped with high-dome emerald glass cabochons. Books: This magnificent swan has graced the pages of some of the most well respected modern jewelry books ever to be published.

Including Brunialti's American Costume Jewelry, Vol. Condition: Please read this section carefully - I go into great detail as this is a VERY expensive piece and you cannot pick it up and examine in person.

In my eyes he is in age appropriate vintage condition, yes there are a some nicks and a little wear to the rear plating - but that is only to be expected for a 76 years old :!! 3 small spots of nacre loss on the'pearl belly' - This can be easily repaired by an expert. Even the example in Brunialti's book has a chip to the pearl body. The cheek and the top pearl belly are in great shape. Crown: 3 green cabochons - All original, none chipped.

Eye: Red Cabochon - original not chipped. Ruby red channel set baguette rhinestones, original, none missing. Enamel: Overall in very good condition, the front looks beautiful - minor loss on the edges - which is only to be expected after prolonged storage! Rhinestones - they have held up well over the years, graceful aging -but look amazing in my eyes! The clear baguettes on the long wing have a darkened hue. Rear - Marked Trifari Pat Pend - So this piece was made before the patent was issued in 1941 - it is an early version. Later ones were marked with the actual number. The pin back is 100% original - not repaired in any way - works perfectly.

The rear has a shiny gold tone finish some age pitting, there is minor wear to only one spot (12mmx6mm) just by the stamp - not seen from the front! Size: 4.7 inches by almost 3 inches. Even though there is best offer on this item I will NOT accept low balls. This is a no return item. We describe all items to include flaws as we know you cannot pick an item up to inspect it, do not let my low feedback deter you - I work full time listing and don't get much free time to do my own!
