Vintage Crown Trifari Brushed Gold Laurel Leaf Link Bracelet

Stunning Trifanium gold tone Trifari laurel leaf bracelet. The bracelet has the Crown Trifari stamp confirming that it was manufactured during the iconic Alfred Philippe era between 1955 and 1969. The bracelet is made up of a repeating botanical layout of sculpted laurel or willow leaves in both a polished and brushed finish. It is on the smaller side so would suit a small wrist.

Trifari was established by Italian Gustavo Trifari, Leo Krussman and Carl Fishel in 1925. The company began by creating jewellery for actors in Hollywood, which raised the profile of the brand. It also capitalised on the increase in interest in costume jewellery, which came about during the Great Depression, when women couldn’t afford expensive fine jewellery.

When renowned French jewellery designer Alfred Philippe (formerly at Van Cleef and Arpels) became involved in the design house, Trifari was transformed. Philippe remained at Trifari until his retirement in 1968 and it’s largely due to his vision that Trifari became a household name with pieces that are still collectible today. 

Trifanium was a shiny, non-tarnishing metal alloy patented by the Trifari company in 1947. The castings were filed, polished, and then plated with either gold or rhodium to produce either a "golden-toned Trifanium" or a "platinum-toned Trifanium". Trifari used the Trifarium alloy to create their costume jewellery starting in 1948 and it was used in almost all of their pieces by 1951.

This is a beautiful bracelet which looks great worn alone as a statement piece or layered with other bracelet.

The gold has a rich tone and is in excellent vintage condition.

The total length of the bracelet is 17cm.
