Vintage Crown Trifari 1954 Carousel Red Rhinestone 4-Piece Parure – Christmas Boutique

Christmas Boutique — an exceptionally elegant vintage Crown Trifari parure. Gold-tone ribbon bows and glowing ruby-red baguette rhinestones bring a wonderfully festive finish to this complete four-piece 1954 Carousel set, designed by Alfred Philippe. It is beautiful for holiday dressing, but its collectible mid-century design can be enjoyed all year.

The complete coordinated set includes a necklace, articulated bracelet, matching bow brooch, and clip earrings. Its gracefully curved open ribbon shapes are finished in gold-tone Trifanium, with vivid red baguettes providing a striking contrast.

The Carousel collection was featured in Trifari's 1954 advertising. The necklace design was patented by Alfred Philippe for Trifari, Krussman & Fishel under Design Patent D173,382, with related Carousel brooch and earring designs documented under D173,087.

Condition

Excellent vintage condition overall, with bright ruby-red rhinestones and very attractive gold-tone finish. There is slight discoloration/finish wear at the attachment area of one earring back, shown in the close-up photographs. Otherwise the set presents beautifully. Please review all photographs as part of the condition description.
