    Helloo

    I have a few necklaces by Trifari, as far as I know they are from the 1960's or 1970's. I can't find a gold stamp on them so I think they are costume jewelry. They are in very good condition and are beautiful pieces.

    Does anyone know about Trifari jewellry, would they be worth anything? I'm not looking to sell them but it would be nice to know.

    Cheers :)

    Trifari did indeed do costume jewellery.An American company. don't be disappointed with it being costume, because it can still be valuable!! 1930s 40s and 50 s stuff is a growing market too. Good design is always good, even if not dripping in real rubies or diamonds!

    The prices vary a lot : a brooch could be 30 quid anywhere to over 1000. The rarer the better.



    Here's Judith Miller's word on it.

    I would say the best thing is to google a description of your necklace and hope to see a pic of a similar one to get an idea of price.

    hi smileygal

    thanks for that link, i'll have a search for some that look like mine. the necklaces are lovely, they have a very unusual style and the clasp is really decorative on them.

    i went to a pawnbroker to see if he would know anything about them, and he said he didn't know anything about them, if they're not gold/silver/diamonds he's not interested he said! (i was only looking for info from him not to pawn them!)

    Ha ha wouldn't it be funny bringing a €1000 piece of Trifari to the pawnbroker and him turning up his nose at it!

    I'd say Americans are more aware of it and its value. I had a google myself and some lovely elegant designs - sure you don't need to worry about as much insurance/being stolen as the same in diamonds.

    Have a look at Jackson Jewels - yum!
