This is NOT an original Boucher Or Trifari, but a Re-Cast made by Roberta Barnes years ago.
Roberta was famous for her reproductions or as she called them RECAST.
She always made them a little different from the originals.
I believe Roberta's recasts have a following as they were all hand made and never represented by her as originals.
I purchased these years ago directly from Roberta. Sadly she has now passed, but her legacy lives on through these pieces.
Roberta's work is very controversial. Some people despise the fact that she copied these expensive originals,
It is a well known fact that many, in fact most important pieces of jewelry have been reproduced to provide a more accessible version for the general public.
In the tradition of Roberta I am offering these recast for much less.
Any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
Photos are part of the description as well, please look carefully.
This recast is in the style of the 1940's Trifari Sterling with rhodium plate.
It is Not Sterling. This does not have proper Rhodium plating.
