QUESTION: Thank you for your reply. I buy and sell on ebay and have actually made Trifari necklace/choker as my daily search notification. I have purchased jewelry collection books that I use to identify many pieces.....this crazy little beauty is hiding its overall identity. Is there a particular or possibly a particular collector's book that I should purchase?
Again, thank you so much for your response!!
