Marked ENGLAND and CP (for Ciro Pearls)


The roughly shaped piece of metal which joins the two hands together shows up very well here.

In the Trifari piece below the joint is handled much more carefully.

Marked Trifari and PAT PEND

Trifari Ballerina 1

Once again note the crude joining of the hands below and the large joints where the head-dress is attached to the arms. The Trifari head-dress attaches at one point of the claw setting but the Ciro attaches all along one side of the claw setting where it touches each arm.

The brooch pin stem is not of a type used by Trifari as far as is known.

The joint where the skirt attaches to the body is less carefully done on the Ciro piece.
