Vintage Trifari Faux-Turquoise & Clear Rhinestone Clip Earrings, 1949
About the Item
Oval goldtone pave round clear and cabochon faux-turquoise clip earrings. Marked crown "Trifari" and "Des. Pat. No 151554." It is an Alfred Philippe design, and the clear rhinestone version of the brooch & earrings was featured in Vogue in 1949. Measure: 1 inch long by 3/4 inches wide. Condition: Very good; some minor metal wear. This is a rarer color combination for these earrings; they are normally found with just pave clear rhinestones.
Trifari is an American jewelry company founded in 1925 which sold costume jewelry to the middle to high end market. In 1930, Alfred Philippe, an immigrant from France, joined the company and became its lead designer. Philippe in his previous position in Paris had collaborated with Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, which influenced his designs for Trifari. In the 1930s, Trifari's jewelry was frequently used in Broadway productions. Their designs were also popular in Europe, owned by the Countess of Polignac as well as madame Lanvin's daughter and the director of Lanvin. Trifari also designed two sets of faux-pearl jewelry for Mamie Eisenhower. In 1955, Trifari won a landmark lawsuit protecting its copyrighted designs which were being copied by other costume jewelry companies. Early jewelry, jewelry featured in advertisements, or by well-known designers like Diane Love, Kunio Matsumoto and Alfred Philippe are all highly sought after.
