About Trifari
Founded in the early 1900s, Trifari became one of the most iconic American costume jewelry makers, known for exceptionally high-quality craftsmanship and elegant designs worn by celebrities, socialites, and even First Ladies.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Trifari specialized in refined sculptural pieces like this one — jewelry designed to mimic the sophistication of fine jewelry while remaining wearable and fashion-forward.
Ribbon and bow motifs were especially popular during this era because they symbolized femininity, elegance, and gift-giving romance.
