An imposing chrysanthemum-shaped brooch by Trifari, made in the United States in 1944, is a true example of the American fashion house's mastery during the Second World War.

The brooch, measuring 7 x 7 cm, is crafted from cast silver and embellished with green rhinestones that follow the lines of the petals, creating an elegant play of light and reflections. The floral design, meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail, expresses the perfect balance between naturalism and decorative style, characteristic of Trifari creations of the period.

This piece is recognized and documented as a significant example of Trifari's production and is published in several reference works:

• Costume Jewelry by Brunialti, p. 139
• Costume Jewelry by Angie Gordin, p. 172
• Gioielli della Fantasia by Idea Books, p. 183

A collectible brooch of great historical and artistic value, testifying to the elegance and quality of craftsmanship in 1940s American costume jewelry.
