How do you identify Alfred Philippe Trifari?

How do you identify Alfred Philippe Trifari?
To identify Alfred Philippe Trifari, first, you'll need to double-check that the piece is a Trifari and estimate its approximate age using the maker's marks. You can find these marks on clasps, backs and other hidden areas. Alfred Philippe served as the head designer for Trifari from 1930 to 1968. During his tenure, Trifari jewelry typically displayed the brand's crown logo and did not bear a TM trademark symbol. If your piece lacks a crown or has a TM symbol present, it's unlikely to be an Alfred Philippe. Should your piece have the correct markings, the next step is to familiarize yourself with Philippe's designs. One way to do so is to search for his name on trusted patent research websites. You can then review the search results to see if you find a match for your item. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer perform the identification process for you. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Trifari jewelry.
