Here is a very brief history, followed by a few of my faves! Some of these pieces are for sale on Etsy from my very lovely team members... so if you like, click the link below the photo to be directed to the shop!
ENJOY!
Trifari was founded in 1918 by Gustavo Trifari and Leo Kraussman... joined by Carl Fishel in 1928. The most popular and collectible pieces come from designers Alfred Philippe and Jim Katz.
Earlier pieces have patent numbers and many of the Trifari patents can be looked up in Google Patents, or Jim Katz Patent Site.
You can do some further research on Trifari signature marks at Illusion Jewels, one of my favorite go-to sites for costume jewelry marks!
