Hello!
This is a large brooch signed Trifari that I found last fall at a rummage sale.The design is a stylized cockade meaning 'a rosette or knot of ribbons worn in a hat as a badge of office or party, or as part of a livery.
"the cap bore the traditional cockade in silver, blue, and red"'

It measures 2 and 5/8" across. Thanks for stopping by.

Truly a beauty, lovely melange of sapphire blue stones at the center. As Eileen said, kudos on an amazing rummage sale find, she & I never get lucky like that! :)

Hi Broochman, Eileen, and Newfld, Thanks for the fun comments and loves. Rummage sales like the thrifts seems to be falling by the wayside. But this was from last fall's sale where I found the Miriam Haskell. Maybe it was from the same donor? The sale was a real throw back as they served cheese and crackers and punch and had a little jazz band tooting away in their not-very-big social hall. I hope they do it again this year!
This is the sleepy Midwest, and I think some in the ladies auxiliary view junk jewelry with disdain. That's nice for us isn't it?
Thanks for the loves Fortapache, AdeleC and Raven3766.
Best, Maureen
