About the Item

For Trifari by mid-century, its artistic director French-born Alfred Philippe designed this yellow-gold set including the seven-bar linked collar with central invisibly-set diamante, along with the tasseled drop earrings that are signed with the crown symbol above the brand name on their French-style clips. The Art Deco style and fine craftsmanship of these pieces reflect some of Philippe's pre-1930s goldsmithing and diamond-setting techniques for Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier, which he was the first to introduce to costume jewelry. Enabling lots of movement, the dangling parts of the 2-inch-long earrings hang below a shiny convex semi-circle, which drops to a smooth smaller ball that tops the 3/4-inch-diameter fluted-cap tassel with its more textural bunch of irregular-length chains. The central curved bar of the complimentary unsigned lustrous golden collar is invisibly set with a silver-foiled channel of clear crystals cut into faceted squares. The stirrup-like ends of the 2-inch bars with textured backs are linked by curled clips, whose shape is echoed by the fold-over clasp at the back of the neck. Only the dimensions of the necklace are specified in the Measurement-Units section of this listing. The lack of a U.S.-copyright symbol dates the set prior to 1955. In 1948, Trifari began using its patented shiny non-tarnishing metal alloy called Trifarium as a casting base for gold plating, while our gold-gilt earrings with points of verdigris visible on the interior of the clips predate this. As the crown stamp over the Trifari text was first used in the brand signature in 1937 in homage to Philippe's crown-shaped brooches that had become best sellers, they do not date earlier. Please see our other listings for additional crown Trifari necklaces, earrings and sets designed by Philippe between 1937-1955.

Trifari Alfred Philippe Gold Tassel Drop Earrings & Heavy Chain Sautoir c1930s

By Alfred Philippe for Trifari

Located in Chicago, IL

Signed "Trifari" with a crown and without a post-1955 U.S.-copyright symbol on all three matching pieces, this likely late-1930s highly-textured yellow-gold-plated demi-parure was designed by American Trifari's French-born head designer Alfred Philippe after he had honed his fine-jewelry craftsmanship while creating luxury parures for Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels. The set features a heavy tasseled eight-strand chain sautoir necklace and earrings with dropped fluted-ball pendants, With French-style signed clip fastening, the contrasting-texture two-inch-long earrings each have two twisted fluted round beads in different sizes, with the larger one capped at both ends with additional shapes and textures. On the necklace, this textural contrast is amplified with the inclusion of many chains. The decorative chain caps and...

MiriamHaskell 1930s Torsade Set GiltFiligreeCapped FauxPearls Earrings & Choker

By Frank Hess for Miriam Haskell

Located in Chicago, IL

During the Art Deco period, Miriam Haskell's first designer Frank Hess designed this blue-and-white glass-beaded hand-sewn torsade set of dangle earrings and a choker necklace, whose knotted string is capped with their characteristic Russian-gilt brass flora filigree. Coinciding with the American Great Depression, to offer some less expensive costume jewelry than her initial ready-to-wear styles featuring Parisian hand-crafted materials found in French couture, Haskell reduced the cost of some of her findings by locally sourcing stamped metal and incorporating hand-pressed glass beads from Germany and Czechoslovakia. With a loop, the line from hand pressing the glass can only be found on the blue beads, while the white ones are coated in an organic material like authentic French faux pearls. The ends of the textured cords that string the beaded set were frayed to form a fuzzy opaque dome that hides the knots attached to the filigree caps. No Haskell jewelry was signed before 1947. The unsigned necklace...
