The history of Trifari can be traced back to the mid 1800's in Naples, Italy, and a small workshop founded by Luigi Trifari.  Luigi's grandson, Gustavo Trifari, born in 1883, learned the trade in his grandfather's workshop, before immigrating to America in 1904. For several years Gustavo worked as a designer in New York City before establishing the firm of Trifari & Trifari about 1910, in partnership with his uncle.  The firm produced costume jewelry but lasted only two years, after which Gustavo founded his own company, Trifari. Trifari became one of the largest and best known producers of costume jewelry, manufacturing a broad range of jewelry at different price levels.  Trifari jewelry displays superb designs and workmanship.  It has a distinctive look, resembling fine jewelry, which can easily be recognized by collectors.
