Vintage 1950s Signed Napier Goldtone Leaves & Brown Moonglow Clip Earrings

About the Item

1950s goldtone leaves and resin brown moonglow clip earrings. Marked "Napier." Measures: 15/16 inches across. Condition: Very good; minor wear if any. The matching charm bracelet is also available. Vintage Napier jewelry was made in Meridan, Connecticut and is very high quality and desirable. In the 1950s, jewelry by Napier was worn by celebrities including Marilyn Monroe, Doris Day, Mamie Eisenhower and Miss America. A necklace sold by Napier in the 1980s or 1990s could cost $100 or more. The plant in Meridan was closed in 2000 and the company sold in 2002, so while the company name still exists, the jewelry is now mass produced.

  • Vintage 1970s Signed Crown Trifari Off White Lucite Flower Drop Clip Earrings
    By Trifari
    Located in Easton, PA
    Early 1970s goldtone and ivory colored Lucite flower drop clip back earrings. Marked crown "Trifari" with a copyright. Measure: 2 1/4 inches long by 1 1/4 inches. Condition: Very good; slight variation in color (I only noticed after I looked at the pictures). Slight discoloration to back edge of one earring. Probably date to 1972, since there were similarly styled earrings advertised by the company in that year. 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...
