Iconic Trifari Jelly Belly fly brooch designed by Alfred Philippe in 1943. This is a fabulous collector piece in good vintage condition. The fly is anatomically sculpted from gilded sterling silver and features a clear lucite cabochon abdomen, red jewel set eyes, and rhinestone accents on the inner wings and thorax. The brooch is fastened with a diagonal safety pin and has been hallmarked 'Trifari' and "Pat No. 137200" on the back of the left wing. There is notable wear to the gilt silver, and some of the rhinestones have discoloration, but all the jewels are accounted for and in their original settings. The lucite dome has remained in great shape with only a few minor scratches and no chips/cracks.
