Vintage Crown Trifari demi deals Parure Bracelet Necklace ~Powder Baby Pastel Pink Lucite Thermoset Jewellery, 1950's MCM Designer Statement Set

Elegant Crown Trifari set featuring the loveliest of pastel pink lucite cabochons. It really is a stunning and rare set.
The metal is gold-tone Trifanium and simulates the look of real gold. The plastic "stones" are set in a gorgeous round cut out setting. Each individual lucite thermoset link is flexible, smooth. The shape is round and pleasingly chunky, the bracelet cabs are slightly bigger than the necklace's.

This set is quite similar to the 1956 "Trinidad" design first featured in an advertising campaign in their 1956 "For Her...Jewels by Trifari" advertisement - I have a white Trinidad 3 piece set listed in my shop. (This particular set seems to be even rarer than the Trinidad range, I have not been able to find any information on the design. Trifari have always created very special jewellery which is highly sought after by collectors.

Condition is excellent - there is very minor wear, only visible on close inspection

Superb statement pieces!

Hallmark: Crown Trifari - Crown symbol over the "T" with copyright symbol on the bracelet clasp

Size: Necklace - 17 inches max, adjustable due to fish hook closure
Bracelet: 7-3/4 inches - fold over clasp

Would make the most wonderful gift....

Here is some info on Trifari:

Since the 1920s, Trifari has been one of the most respected and admired producers of costume jewelry in the United States. Founded in the 1910s by Gustavo Trifari, the Italian-immigrant son of a Napoli goldsmith, the company has designed jewelry that's been worn by countless high-profile clients, from Mamie Eisenhower to Madonna.

The success of Trifari, and the reason for its collectibility today, is most often credited to French designer Alfred Philippe, the company's chief designer from 1930 until 1968. His use of invisible settings for stones, which he originally developed for Van Cleef and Arpels, added a level of craftsmanship and technique that had not been previously seen in costume jewelry.

In 1955 revisions to the U.S. Patent Law allowed jewelry designs to be copyrighted using the copyright symbol. Trifari then started using the copyright symbol in its signature. Pieces of that era will have both the Crown and Copyright symbols in the signature, which was used in the late 1950's to late 1960's. Many of the most highly sought after vintage Trifari pieces have this signature They are called "CROWN TRIFARI" by dealers and collectors.
