Rare TRIFARI Alfred Philippe Moonstones Queen Crown Gold Tone Brooch Vintage

Picked up this beauty from an Estate Sale. See pictures for noted flaws due to 3 missing stones. They are clearly pointed out with yellow highlights and red arrows. Sadly, I believe the brooch was damaged due to how the family stored the owners collection (See the last photo). It appears to have rarely been worn. Price was determined due to the missing stones. This particular brooch is a rare find! Stones can be easily replaced and brooch restored to its natural rare beauty!
* Crown over T in Trifari:
* Mid 1939 - 1955
* During the period between 1930 and 1960, Trifari produced some of its most highly collectible pieces. This was due in large part to the inspired addition of Alfred Phillipe to the design team. With his high end jewelry background at companies like Cartier, he taught other Trifari artisans key processes, like invisible settings, that seriously elevated the look and style of the line. His pieces stand out from the rest and are worth hundreds of dollars each.
