Some years ago, I bought a vintage Vogue magazine with the Trifari Ad depicting its Fantasia Series from 1957. I decided then that I was on a quest to collect each of the pins shown in the ad. My first purchase was the Trifari poodle pin.

1 Vogue, 1957. It says "She can't see a thing but Fantasia by Trifari. ONE TOUCH OF WHIMSY! Precious pets to caper on a collar... light on a lapel... scintillate on a sleeve... Staring the new pearl-like jewel made from the iridescent shell of the oyster.. Set exquisitely in rich delicately textured Trifanium.."

3 Just like in the ad, but with the addition of the earrings. Has anyone else found any other pins from this series not pictured here?
4 The Fantasia Poodle Pin - the first one that I ever bought because I collect Trifari poodle pins.
5 Trifari mark that is on the back of each pin.
6 The backs of some of the pins. All have the smooth Trifanium finish except for the flower which has a brushed gold-tone finish.
7 This Fantasia dragon fly pin was very hard to find. I searched for it for years, but finally, one day there it was on eBay.
8 Another of the series that is difficult to find. Here is the flower pin with the matching earrings from the series.
9 The heart pin.

11 Three insects: a spider, a fly with folded wings and the larger fly with outspread wings
12 The poodle and the rooster. These must have been very popular because you do frequently see them for sale.
