Trifari 1944 VintageVermeil 4 pcSet of Clipmates & Pins This is a signed set of 4 pieces. Sterling Vermeil is Gold Plate over Sterling Silver. A.Philipe Designed these pieces for Trifari.The Broochs are worn as a pair, and the little Clipmates are worn as a pair. The Vogue Ad shows the Big Broochs only. Check the patent# Des-137,546. Also you may Google Search A.Philippe Trifari Clipmate Pins and you will find a site featuring this Design with Orange colored stones, and a picture on one site of a Vogue Magazine Ad for June 1944 featuring a woman wearing the larger set of Clipmates. ONLY THIS SITE,HALLELUJAH VINTAGE,HAS THE SMALLER SET! Both sets have Red gemstones and the most realistic rhinestones I've ever seen!(They really look like Diamonds).The Gold Plate has some wear as it does on the other sites, but these 4 pieces are still fantastically handsome pieces! The Glare from the Gold and Gems made photos so difficult so I'll take more of the Clip Fasteners in the back and put them up ASAP. Thanx for your patience! Shipping and Insurance is $5.95.
