This is a beautiful and unique, hard to find Vintage 1960's Owl Brooch that is made by a company called Trifari, which is known for their good quality fashion jewlery. It is made from a metal called Trifanium Gold and has an orange coral cabochon stone for the eyes and the belly.
It was my grandmother's, mom's brooch that she use to wear back in the 60's. It is marked with the Crown Trifari marking. This brooch Measures 1.5" X 1".Please do not ask if I will sell this for 20 or 30 dollars. At that point, people just wanted something that looked expensive but much more affordable.
This is why Trifari came up with Trifanium. This alloy that they created was resistant to tarnish, and it was smooth and durable enough to double as an alternative to precious metal.
With the creation of this alloy, Trifari rose even more on the popularity rank. Trifari is a high sought after name brand of quality costume jewlery made since the early 1910's.
This name brand is very well known as high valued works of art and artifacts of the business.
