TRIFARI
Since the 1920s, Trifari has been one of the most respected and admired producers of costume jewelry in the United States. Founded in the 1910s by Gustavo Trifari, the Italian-immigrant son of a Napoli goldsmith, the company has designed jewelry that’s been worn by countless high-profile clients, from Mamie Eisenhower to Madonna.

The success of Trifari, and the reason for its collectibility today, is often credited to French designer Alfred Philippe, the company’s chief designer from 1930 until 1968.

Authentic Trifari jewelry is typically marked with "Jewels by Trifari," "TKF" (for Trifari, Krussman & Fishel), or "Trifari," depending on when it was made.

Like all manufacturers during World War II, Trifari was unable to use metal in its products due to rationing. This forced Trifari to switch to sterling silver during the war, which tripled prices for Trifari products (although that didn’t seem to hurt sales). Post-war, Trifari wanted to go back to less costly, maintenance-free metal, but its audience was now used to silver. To hype the return to a cheaper base metal, the company began advertising a "revolutionary" new metal called Trifanium— unlike silver, it could be given a no-polish rhodium finish.
The campaign worked so well that by 1953, Mamie Eisenhower felt perfectly comfortable to break with tradition and wear costume jewelry to the inaugural ball. To match the First Lady’s pink satin gown, Alfred Philippe designed an pearl choker with matching three-stranded bracelet and earrings, each laden with eight pearls. Three sets were made: one for the First Lady, a second for the Smithsonian, and a third for the Trifari archives. Mrs. Eisenhower was so pleased with the ensemble that she had Trifari make jewelry for her second inaugural ball in 1957.

When purchasing multiple hats the weight entered for shipping on each listing includes the weight of the shipping box. For those purchasing multiple hats I will refund any shipping overages when I package up the hats. For international orders you can contact me ahead of time and I can calculate the exact cost since the correct weight drastically reduces the shipping cost.

Every piece of Jewelry and all of our hair accessories will ship in a gift box with a custom Why We Love The Past Logo and ribbon. We do this as a courtesy and no additional cost to you. We see it as a convenience to you so your purchase is ready to give as a gift.

For hat orders I do have extra vintage hat boxes if you need to send the hat as a gift. Please send me a message and we can do a custom order with the box since shipping will need to be updated.

I have noticed that the shipping costs seem to go by brackets. For example the cost is the same price for items weighing up to 6 ounces and then the next shipping bracket is for anything up to 1 pound (16 ounces). I wanted to let you know this so that you can purchase multiple items for the same exact shipping cost. Almost all small jewelry items weigh 2 ounces.

Also For larger items such as hats and purses I normally ship these items using boxes which weigh more but I could ship these larger items cheaper if you are ok with allowing me to ship using a thick plastic shipping bag instead. Please message me and I can recalculate the shipping and update the listing.
