Questions About Alfred Philippe for Trifari Jewelry & Watches
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
    To identify Alfred Philippe Trifari, first, you'll need to double-check that the piece is a Trifari and estimate its approximate age using the maker's marks. You can find these marks on clasps, backs and other hidden areas. Alfred Philippe served as the head designer for Trifari from 1930 to 1968. During his tenure, Trifari jewelry typically displayed the brand's crown logo and did not bear a TM trademark symbol. If your piece lacks a crown or has a TM symbol present, it's unlikely to be an Alfred Philippe. Should your piece have the correct markings, the next step is to familiarize yourself with Philippe's designs. One way to do so is to search for his name on trusted patent research websites. You can then review the search results to see if you find a match for your item. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer perform the identification process for you. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Trifari jewelry.

    To identify a Trifari brooch, turn it over and look for a maker's mark. Most Trifari jewelry features one of several backstamps. The earliest pieces made by the American jewelry brand usually read "KTF," for Trifari, Krussman, and Fishel. During the early 1930s, the stamp changed to "TRIFARI PAT.PEND.," and in 1937, the company introduced its crown logo. Pieces dating from the mid-1950s to the mid-1980s will bear this logo plus a copyright symbol. Finally, the 1980s brought the addition of a “™” trademark marking. If you can't find a stamp or have difficulty reading it, you may wish to consult a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Trifari brooches.

    The difference between Trifari and Crown Trifari comes down to age. When Gustavo Trifari founded his eponymous jewelry house in 1904, the hallmark he used on pieces was a simple T. Around 1937, Trifari began adding a crown to its hallmarks. As a result, Crown Trifari jewelry tends to include newer vintage pieces, while regular Trifari jewelry includes both vintage and antique pieces. Explore a wide variety of Trifari jewelry on 1stDibs.
