Reverse

These colors will knock them out! Stylized bows call to mind a flingy Art Deco style, but this set is probably from the 1980s. The  champleve enamels, poured into the recesses of of gold tone findings, is pristine, and the most remarkable colors! The lavender color is almost a periwinkle; the blue is midnight. The necklace offers a 1/4:" curved golden snake chain with foldover clasp. This is high quality costume jewelry, well made with good heft and bound to have a nice feel on your neck. The necklace, when pulled straight, clasps at 16", but because of the curved style and the dip in the centerpiece bow, you can probably add an inch or two. The brooch is 2 1/2" wide. All pieces are signed Trifari on a raised oval and are in Excellent, clean condition. $38
