Featuring the iconic mixture of textured and smooth finishes, this brooch is an excellent example of Trifari brooches of the 1955 to late 1960's era. An elegant and timeless piece of jewellery designed and manufactured during the Alfred Phillipe design era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.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 jewelry starting in 1948 and it was used in almost all of their pieces by 1951.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTrifari 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhen 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo longer confined to your Grandmother's jewellery box brooches are now having a massive comeback and are hailed as THE jewellery trend of 2026.
