Vintage Silver tone Trifari Rhinestone Bracelet - pre-1950's, 7", 1/2" wide.  Signed Trifari Pat. Pend. on flip-over clasp.  There are six links that are curved.  Each link has two large oval cut oval rhinestones that are appx. 8mm by 5 mm.  There are also four small round stones on the edges with two baguettes on each side except for the end to links - the outer edge has a smooth finish where the baguette would be.  I am sure it is a design issue as that is where the clasp is and more like to cause wear on the baguette if it were on that edge.   The clasp is signed Trifari on top and pat. pend. under that.  Research Trifari marks produced this information:
This is one of the earliest Trifari marks you will see (there were a couple of earlier signatures, but they are quite rare). Prior to 1955 the U.S. copyright law did not extend protection to jewelry designs, so the major manufacturers, who employed talented jewelry designers, protected their investment with U.S. patents. As soon as a design was completed, it was submitted to the U.S. patent office and a patent was applied for. This process normally took a few months, so the jewelry would be stamped PAT. PEND. to advise that a patent application for the design was filed (see photo below).


Therefore this bracelet is likely more like t he 1940's or at least before 1955.  This looks new - the stones are shiny and bright and all present and appear to be original.  This came from a Massachusetts estate.  It is in very good condition.  See photos which do not do it justice.   Visit my other auctions and my Ebay store, Maria's. (Locator Number KIM)
