This bracelet with the Trifari "crown T" mark and the original Art Deco clasp is a very interesting vintage piece of jewelry. The crown T logo (Crown Trifari) visible on the clasp, along with other symbols such as "©" or "TM", indicates an early period. The mark was used from approximately 1937 to 1955 (some sources even include the 1930s to 1960s). This mark is often associated with the designs of Alfred Philippe (Trifari designer since 1930), which are considered the most sought-after by collectors.

Bracelet in classic Retro style, baguette cut crystal in the center with round crystals arranged around it. The clasp is distinctive, decorative, not hidden - this shows special design attention. Old style lock (box clasp) - corresponds to the 1940-1950 period.

Important: Not all Trifari jewelry is of the same value. It depends a lot on how the jewelry is marked:

1) “Crown TRIFARI” (without ©)( 1937-1955) - one of the most sought after (called “Crown Trifari era”)
2) “Crown TRIFARI” (with ©)(1955-1969) - valuable, but the crown was not always used
3) “Trifari ©” (without crown) (1970-1990) - later, mass-produced
4) “Trifari” (1990-2000)
