About Trifari

One of the most popular and sought-after vintage jewellery brands, Trifari was known for its high quality and fashion forward costume jewellery designs. Highly respected, Trifari had a loyal client base, from celebrities to the everyday woman.

The Trifari Company was founded by Gustavo Trifari, an Italian immigrant who arrived in New York from Napoli in 1904 at the age of 20. In 1910 he founded “Trifari and Trifari” with his uncle. Gustavo’s uncle left the company a few years later, and Gustavo continued the company under the name of “Trifari.” It’s no wonder that Italian collectors love to buy Trifari Vintage Jewellery, as Gustavo is one of their own.

In 1930 Trifari hired renowned French Designer, Alfred Philippe as head designer, and that is when the company really began to take off. Philippe’s background designing very high end fine jewellery for firms like Cartier and Van Cleef and Arples brought a wonderful sense of luxury and style to the company. The designs he created for Trifari vintage jewellery have the style and glamour of fine jewellery and were very popular. This began an era of Trifari dominance in the industry which lasted for many years.
