Vintage Trifari Enamel Brooch: 3-Tone Modern Statement Estate (Matsumoto?)

A bold statement piece, this stamped Trifari three toned enamel brooch is in excellent condition. The clasp is firm on this 1980 modernistic piece with sections in green and rust/brown divided and enclosed by gold tone metal. NOTE: There is a bit of dust pictured with the brooch. Be assured there are no abnormal markings on the brooch. "It's just dust".

Trifari is an American costume jewelry brand that was founded in 1910 by Italian immigrant Gustavo Trifari. The company was continued under various leaders until the 1990s. The brand is known for its innovative designs and quality craftsmanship. Trifari designer Kunio Matsumoto was a leader in his field. I am not sure if this piece is one of his designs but it is certainly representative of his style.

"Vintage jewelry displays the evidence of use and purchaser should not expect a brand new looking piece, but rather one with the sweet patina of time, with wrinkles, erosions, scars, abrasions and flaws. Like our grandmothers".
