I was thrilled to receive this recently. I have admired this design and rarely see it for sale. The brooch measures 2 and 1/4 inches long by 1 and 3/4 inches wide. Given the way the enamel is handled, the brooch looks to from the L'Orient series of the 1960s.
Enjoy!
Wow this piece defines why Trifari is so popular - unbelievably beautiful.
was this a purchase or a gift? doesn't really matter it is awesome. Lori
I adore this!
Lovely Trifari piece, the flower shape reminds me of a pansy
Lori, Thanks, not a gift, a gift to myself.
Karen, Thanks for the adoration of this design.
Jenni, A pansy! So pretty. I thought a wild rose. We all see a different flower.
Also thanks to the collectors who have given this piece a love including those above and the following:

Beautiful!
Sorry I missed this. Lovely quality! Any more info you can give about this?
Hi Mary,
I don't know much about this design. It is from the 1960s so there is no patent reference. In looking through the patents, I see an early patent that seems to have a similar flower and leaf pattern, but a different center, more leaves, no stems and no pearls. That is patent number 103,596, dated March 13, 1937. I have never seen this piece in the various ads I've seen online either. So maybe someone here will have more information to share about it. I just loved the design Thanks for the love and comment. Best, Maureen
The Trifari L'orient Series 1968 were mostly made up of enamel, followed by pearls, cabochons and rhinestones. I think some were plain gold and platinum tones as well.
Nutsabotas6 - Thanks for the info ( and love).
Nutsabotas6 - I have only seen one L'Orient ad which has the white enamel and coral cabochons. Have you seen other ads that have this brooch in it? I'd appreciate it if you could point me to them. Thanks. Best, Maureen
This has to be a rarity! Beautiful in every way. The pearls are snow white, and the enamel is perfection! Wow, Maureen, you’ve outdone yourself!
MrsTyndall, Thanks for the lovely comment and click.
Eileen, Thanks for the sweet comment and love.
