1931 Trifari Adolph M. Katz Art Deco earrings with patented design Pat 176 475
Trifari, often stylized as Trifari, is an American jewelry design company founded by Italian immigrant Gustavo Trifari in 1910. The company became one of the most prominent manufacturers of costume jewelry in the United States, particularly during the mid-20th century. Known for its high-quality craftsmanship and innovative designs, Trifari pieces often mimicked fine jewelry, using materials like rhinestones, faux pearls, and enameled metals. U.S. Patent 176,475, granted in 1931 to Adolph M. Katz for a "design for a clasp or similar article," is a significant marker for identifying Trifari pieces from that era. This patent number indicates that the earrings feature a design patented by Katz for Trifari, placing them firmly in the early Art Deco period. Such pieces were popular for their geometric styling and use of sparkling faux gemstones, reflecting the fashion trends of the time.
