Here's the latest 20 item update at N&N Vintage Costume Jewelry this Monday 26 June 2023...
   
Trifari double patented 1939 French Lady and Gent pin clips - perhaps a self portrait of Alfred Philippe, always the quintessential Frenchman (who indeed wore a moustache)... rare 1949 patented Trifari Philippe Fairyland Jelly Belly Rooster... further examples of Philipe continuity of design - superb 1935-37 KTF pastel fruit salad circle pin; equally superb 1948 Fragonard pastel fruit salad flower basket, reviving a 1941 patented design, from yet another Philippe Fruit Salad collection...
   
remarkable Corocraft - Rabbits duette with 1945 patent and 1946 advert; 1942 Sterling Craft Coro running Reindeer pin... MB Boucher pink and blue topaz single flower in gold and pave, from a superb 1941 series of variations on these designs... Pennino Sterling Bullrushes in gold, joining the rhodium plated sterling example on site, as seen in Brunialti, dateable to 1944 (like many other Pennino sterling flowers) from adverts...
   
fascinating Trifari Philippe US Patriotic pins - July 1941 patented miniature US Eagle of Victory, joining the British Lion already here in small (above) and large sizes - already envisaging an allied victory, 5 months before Pearl Harbor and any formal alliance... US Stars and Stripes Flags in baguettes, and pave and enamel, from the same mid 1940 series that produced the Uncle Sam's Hats in both enamel and baguette versions...
   
and more - stunning DeRosa Sterling Flower bracelet; Boucher Parisina Mexico enamelled variant of the MB 1945 Dachshund design; never seen Trifari Philippe 1952-3 'Dearest' Crown pin, matching the Fan from the same series (the word spelt by the initial letters of the 7 stone colours); irresistible late 40s Coffee Table, Coffee Pot and Cups pin...
...and of course there's more to see - in our 20 item, 26 June Update
Plus - a couple of new Research Discoveries...
 
...in the last couple of weeks - spectacular new 1945 advert for Sterling silver pieces by "Famous Names', 'America's famous jewel designers, Trifari, Mazer, DeRosa, Boucher, Ciner' - added to the MB Boucher Seahorse, and Ciner Sterling Bowknot, each linked in the thumbnails above...
N&N's Research Discoveries page has a useful archive of these illustrated update emails, going back to when they began, in pre-Covid days, December 2019 onwards - and you can catch up there on any emails you may have missed...
All our best...
