Trifari jewelry (jewellery) History

Italian immigrant Gustavo Trifari formed Trifari in 1912 producing high quality costume jewellery. Trifari crowns became a signature piece for the company and the crown symbol was incorporated into the company`s trademark by the 1950`s.

Vermeil is sterling silver coated with gold. To be considered vermeil, the gold must be at least 10 carat (42%) and be at least 2.5 micrometres thick. Vermeil was used in the 1940`s when resources were limited and this is part of it`s appeal to collectors.
