Trifari 1955 Wildflowers Collection, Necklace, Bracelet & Earrings, Heavenly! NWS 3- 1276 ~ From Trifari's "Wildflowers Collection", this magnificent set was painstakingly made to look like each blossom was just picked from a naturalist's garden. Trifari launched this magnificent jewelry in 1955, and it has been a hit ever since. ~ At the center of each flower is a single, sparkling, clear crystal, making each flower look like is was graced by the morning dew. Surrounding each stone is a starburst of golden stamens. ~ Each flower head has 5 petals that have been expertly enameled in a soft, pure white color. And each flower petal is undulating, their tips gently curling as if unfolding to the early morning sun. ~ Behind each flower head are 5 individual, golden leaves, so delicate, they almost look like snowflakes! These flowers are lush and real looking, making a woman look as radiant as her garden. ~ The necklace measures 13.75" long, extendable to 16.25" long, with hook and extension chain. The chain terminates in a lovely, golden bead. Each flower measures 1.25" across. All the flowers are the same size on the necklace, bracelet and earrings. ~ The bracelet measures 7.25" long, with folding clasp. ~ The earrings are clips. ~ Signed "Trifari " with the crown logo on the reverse of the earrings and bracelet. I can't find the mark on the necklace, but I guarantee it to be a Trifari, of the same 1955 vintage. c. 1955, in great vintage condition, with light wear to some of the high points of the enamel, and light wear to the gold plating on the reverse only. Research: Twentieth Century Costume Jewellery, by Angie Gordon, p. 198. Also, shown above is a magazine advertisement from Trifari, 1955, showcasing this exact set. Price = $485.00, or 1 layaway payment of $194 and 2 payments of $145. Read about the Fabulous Facets Layaway Program here. Who was Trifari? |
