🌟 Design & Inspiration
Founded in 1918, Trifari grew into one of the most collectable names in vintage costume jewelry, renowned for its crown-marked designs worn by first ladies and film stars alike. This bold sunflower brooch reflects the 1970s taste for large, sculptural nature motifs — a versatile statement piece that lifts a blazer, coat or knit, and looks just as striking pinned to a bag or scarf.
Provenance & authenticity
Every piece is checked for maker’s marks, construction and materials before we list it. Anything we cannot attribute with certainty we sell as unsigned — never as designer.

Caring for vintage jewelry
Vintage jewelry lasts longest when kept dry and stored separately. Put it on last and take it off first: perfume, hairspray and skin cream all attack the plating.
Polish only with a soft, dry cloth. No water, no soap and no silver polish — that strips the layer off.
