<p>[QUOTE=&quot;starsbarking, post: 78234, member: 366&quot;]I have always liked the story that originally jelly belly jewelry used WWII surplus plexiglass from bombers.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Many costume jewelry manufacturers used the jelly bellies, but most famous are the Trifari and Corocraft sterling designs, which incorporated fantastic design with breathtaking quality of materials and craftsmanship. A story in circulation is that as part of their War efforts, Trifari installed Plexiglas windshields &amp; turrets in military bombers. The company would only use flawless material. They were left with rejected material and rather than throw it away Alfred Phillipe had cabochons cut from the Plexiglas and incorporated them into jewelry designs.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/gds/Antique-Jewelry-What-is-a-Jelly-Belly-Anyway-/10000000008060168/g.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/gds/Antique-Jewelry-What-is-a-Jelly-Belly-Anyway-/10000000008060168/g.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/gds/Antique-Jewelry-What-is-a-Jelly-Belly-Anyway-/10000000008060168/g.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
