This Trifari pink fruit salad rhinestone basket fur pin clip from the 1940s is a desirable piece of vintage costume jewelry. Trifari’s “fruit salad” jewelry drew inspiration from Cartier’s Tutti Frutti style. This was a more affordable alternative.
The pink molded glass stones are shaped like leaves, buds or berries. Each are molded to imitate fine carved gemstones. These stones fill the basket with rhinestone encrusted branches. Gold washed metal provides a warm finish.
The fur pin clip patent was filed by Alfred Philippe and patented in 1941 with patent number 125156.
