A rare pair of love bugs! This adorable set of two 'jelly belly' pins was made in 1943 by famed costume jeweler, Crown Trifari, while Alfred Philippe was head designer, making them a highly collectible pair. Set in sterling silver with a faded gold wash, clean, clear lucite cabochons, and hand-set glass rhinestones, these pins are a fine example of the expertly crafted pieces Alfred Philippe was known for. The designer utilized fine jewelry techniques in Trifari designs, ensuring they outlive many modern machine-made fine jewelry pieces! The 'jelly belly' lucite cabochons mimic the magic or rock crystal, reflecting anything underneath its gaze upside down! These love bugs are sure to bring a playful elegance to whatever they adorn– adorable in every way!
