Description:
Since the 1920s, Trifari has been one of the most respected and admired producers of costume jewelry in the United States. Founded in 1910 by Gustavo Trifari, the Italian-immigrant son of a Napoli goldsmith, the company has designed jewelry that’s been worn by countless high-profile clients, from Mamie Eisenhower to Madonna. The success of Trifari is most often credited to French designer Alfred Philippe, the company’s chief designer from 1930 until 1968. His use of invisible settings for stones, which he originally developed for Van Cleef and Arpels, added a level of craftsmanship and technique that had not been previously seen in costume jewelry. The bracelets are sold separately. The blue bracelet has been sold.
