TRIFARI HISTORY:

Since the 1920s, Trifari has been one of the most respected and admired producers of costume jewelry in the United States. 

Founded in 1910 by Gustavo Trifari (1883 - 1952), 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.

Trifari Jewelry was first known as Trifari and Trifari founded by Gustavo Trifari and his uncle in 1910. The company name changed to just Trifari after Gustavo's uncle left. In 1917, Leo Krussman joine,d and then Carl Fishel in 1925. They renamed the Company Trifari, Krussman, and Fishel, which is where the signature mark "KTF" derived.

Trifari became one of the most prolific and influential costume jewelry companies. Based in New York City, the great designer Alfred Philippe joined the company in 1930 (previously of Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, and is often credited for the superb designs, workmanship, and distinctive classic look of Trifari jewelry. Philippe remained head designer until his retirement in 1968.
