TRIFARI
Pre-1937

Tri-color/jewel-tone (emerald, ruby & sapphire) molded glass “fruit salad” stones, embellished with crystal rhinestones set in gold-plated articulated link bracelet, terminating with a foldover clasp.
designed by Alfred Philippe in the art deco style of the tutti frutti Cartier design.

Alfred Philippe was parisian born and trained at L’ Ecole Boulle, a prestigious design school. After he emigrated to the United States, he worked for William Scheer Inc which was known for manufacturing jewelry in the Deco era. Scheer created memorable designs for prestigous companies such as … maybe you heard of them??? … Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels.

In 1929, Philippe signed on as a designer with Trifari bringing his fine jewelry experience, where he became head designer until he retired in 1968. His fruit salad designs, such as this one, mimicked the tutti frutti designs made by Cartier in the 20’s.

The KTF hallmark is scarce to begin with, and the jewel-tone tri-color way is the MOST sought after and highly collectible. Similar bracelets are priced at $2,500 and up to 5-digit price tags! This is a fantastic piece of costume jewelry history and getting harder and harder to find at attainable prices.
