<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 9504389, member: 5398"]For those who may not already know this....In the 1940s, Alfred Philippe, Trifari's head designer, created what came to be known as jelly belly brooches. The main bodies/bellies of various animals and birds were carved from clear acrylic/lucite. The head and appendages were usually sterling silver. Coro also made similar, but probably not as many as Trifari. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you search "vintage jelly belly brooches" on eBay sold listings and sort high to low, you'll see examples. Buyers pay a lot for "true" Trifari jelly belly brooches. I even saw one by Coro that sold for $1500.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
