Trifari was founded by Gustavo Trifari and his uncle in 1910, and was first known as “Trifari and Trifari”. Gustavo’s uncle departed from the company a few years later and the company then became known as “Trifari”.
In 1917 Leo Krussman joined Trifari,and in 1925 Carl Fishel joined Trifari and became the head of the sales department. The company was then renamed “Trifari, Krussman, and Fishel.”

In the early part of 1930 Afred Philippe joined Trifari as the head of desig. He was an excellent designer who had worked with companies such as Cartier.
In just a few years Philippe was instrumental in turning Trifari into a profitable company. His art deco designs were extremely popular and because he was able to work with less expensive metals he was able to design the large overlayed flower pins as well as the fruit salad jewelry.
During the art deco period Trifari designs were created to resemble the fine jewelry of that era. As time went on the designs became more flamboyant sometimes even reaching outrageous.
However, their main production always focused on resembling fine jewelry. During the 1940’s there was no designer who had more influence on the fashion industry than Alfred.
