Vintage Trifari set: clips and bracelet. Made of jewelry alloy, decorated with Swarovski crystals. United States, 1970s

The history of the Trifari brand began when in the 1910s a native of the family of Italian jewelers Gustavo Trifari founded the Trifari and Trifari company together with his uncle. Two years later, the firm changed its name when three partners - Leo Krussman and Karl Fishel joined it. Together with the name - "Trifari, Krussman and Fischel" - the stigma has also changed, becoming the abbreviation "KTF". But later on, the T-crowned with a crown became the trademark of Trifari. In 1930, the main find of the company's management was the jeweler Alfred Philippe, who became the head of the design department from the 1930s to 1968. Before joining Trifari, he worked for the jewelry companies Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels. The chief designer brought the so-called “invisible fasteners” and different cuts to the jewelry from the jewelry business. Hollywood movie stars and even first ladies began to wear "Trifari" products.
