Julie, I love your video about Trifari! My father, Lucius Passavanti, was a staff designer, along with Jean Paris, under Phillipe. Every night he can home from work with stories. I also have a photo of my dad with Jean paris which landed on the cover of American Jewelry Manufacturer in the 60s.
I too love black and green color combination, but what I really need to say is...you have the most exquisite taste of any collector I have seen! I am a collector of several different areas or mediums--- art, jewelry, MCM vintage fabrics and decor, but you really impress me so much. Thank You for sharing with us!!!!
That is quite a compliment and I thank you very much. Glad you enjoy the examples I show. Sometimes people ask for videos on specific designers but if I don't have enough examples I won't do one. I buy what I like.
Great info! I have a vintage Trifari brooch that I can't find ANY info on... I've looked lots of places. It's about 4.25" long.. may I send you pictures to see if you know anything about it?
Hi, thanks for the information. I found a piece from the Object of Fascination in a Goodwill auction box. It the 30" Neptune Necklace. Blue lapis with the gold horse head and horse shoe toggle closure. Could not find the collection on line.
Have you done an updated Trifari video I've been collecting for about 40 years? I still have pieces that I cannot identify. Especially the bumpy brushed glittery giant size pearls
There is no single answer to that ?. Sounds like an interesting piece. Google Trifari Belt Necklace and look at images to see if you can find one like it.
Julie, thank you. Your collection is stunning. I have a Trifari Crown w/copyright "wave" brooch. There is something about this brooch I cannot figure out. The brooch is a double wave, however the back has a separate wave piece "bolted" to the top wave piece and it has slight movement. I cannot find anything about this, can you assist?
Hello, I came across this video and really enjoyed it! You seem to know a lot about Trifari, may I ask you if there are ever any unsigned pieces? I have a silvertone bracelet with light blue rhinestones, it came as a set with light blue rhinestone/ silvertone post earrings. They had been my mother's and were in a box signed Trifari ( no crown)- my sister sent them to me without their box, but I saw someone selling the same set in the same box. Just that I can't find any marks except for what appears to be a letter J on only one of the earrings. The quality seems very good, as my other signed Trifari pieces.Any idea? Thanks so much!
I get asked questions about unsigned jewelry often. You just have to do the research with reference books and online information. Try to find another similar design that is signed. But if the piece is lovely and it was your Mom's why does it matter? I keep my Mom's and my grandma's pieces and would never sell them.
I found a collection its extensive and I found lots of trifari some minor flaws on a few meaning 50 out of 300 .I found a toolbox along with 140. pounds lof vintage 30s through 90s .The toolbox is full of misc parts . Should I repair b4 I resell or a iss ? Should I sell in lots 5 lbs ? I found this haul in garbage Lots of sets where's best place to sell. Thank you ❤️
Thank you for this very interesting video. I have discovered a set of Jewels of India jewelry that was my mother’s. It’s the red, green, blue and white. I have a clamper bracelet, a Maltese cross and earrings. I am interested in selling the set, but I’m not sure of their worth. I’m beginning to think I might have something of value. Could you possibly steer me in the right direction? Thank you so much.
I just found a pair of pierced earrings that were my husbands grandmother marked Trifari with the crown, plus one I can't find the mate to but will keeep looking
Hello, i have a "blue and green tiles" earings, very old...it is not gold, is it worth something? Also i have one big beautifull earing maybe is gold plated, no magnetic, so perferct but just one. My mom lost somwhere another one when she was young...she is 67 now. It is long leaves(made from 3 parts...the first one is leaves up another side of clip, look line bird legs...two others is some little springs, and leaves down. With white zirkons. Sorry my English is bad, so I can't explain better. Can I get some informations about values if you please? Thank you.
Your English is fine, I understand but there is no way to do an appraisal without seeing and touching the piece. As far as a single earring, unless it could be turned into a pendant the value is just a scrap value.
I can only cover so much in a short video and they are intended for newer collectors, some experienced people probably think I missed areas. Can't please everyone, right?
Oh, well. I just thought that I would ask. I'm in my '70s now and trying to identify things because my children don't have the same level of interest. My computer skills are not that great but getting better. Perhaps someone else will know more about Trifari pearls. Just thought you might know of a good reference book book I could buy.
I have found a bracelet with the mark that says "Copyright by Trifari" (copyright is written in word, not a sign of copyright, and with crown above letter "T"). But in the video wasn't shown any similar mark. Is it fake mark or it's true Trifari?
I have seen Trifari with COPR spelled out (1948) but not the whole word. I would have to see it to do further research. Not assuming it is a fake at this point. If you want to send a photo of the piece, back, front and close up of mark, I will try to find out. juirving@yahoo.com
I don't buy Coventry either but there are some who collect it. Don't throw it out, donate it to your local thrift shop. Someone will be thrilled to get it. Thanks for watching.
I have a 1930 -50 chocker id like to sell , it has pat pend trifari, its very heavy no stones could you help me define the design. i can send the photos with email. thank you.
I have a beautiful trifari necklace and earrings set, Ive have no idea how much their worth but the pieces are in excellent condition sort of look like milk stone beads and a beautiful gold around it. I’d be willing to sell them if your interested.
Thx for the info...good to know...but please in future don't have it in your kitchen with the blinking light flashing on your dishwasher!! VERY distracting !!
Thanks Julie. I am loving your videos and am learning a lot!

No updates and impossible to cover all the pieces. You'll need to do the research!
Thank you Great video
You are kind, thank you and enjoy the others.
I have a "Crown Trifari Vintage belt choke necklace New York 1950-1955". I wanted to know how much it was worth.

I am sorry, I don't have any idea what piece you are talking about. Google it and select images to see if you can find anything like it.

True, I would never sell these pieces because of sentimental value, signed or not!

I have no idea, I never buy like you have and don't sell "lots". Too much damage in my experience.
You using the eBay notification tone made me check my eBay to see what got a bid 🤣
Not sure what you mean, I don't sell on eBay but thank you for watching.

Do you know anything about "Craft" jewelry?

What are the baby teeth made out of what kind of stone? Is it a pearl?
They look like small pearls in the shape of baby teeth, Could be lacquered glass, I never cut up one to find out. Thanks for watching.
Who give thumbs down to a great video?🤯
I can only cover so much in a short video and they are intended for newer collectors, some experienced people probably think I missed areas. Can't please everyone, right?
Mad for Trifari.
Lots to love about Trifari!! Thanks for your comments.
Craig Long is a
Trifari is so popular right now. They say you can never go wrong buying Trifari and I think that is true.
Just bought a Alfred Philippe ruby orchid brooch - paid FAR too much, but loved it too much to say no.
Oh, well. I just thought that I would ask. I'm in my '70s now and trying to identify things because my children don't have the same level of interest. My computer skills are not that great but getting better.
Perhaps someone else will know more about Trifari pearls. Just thought you might know of a good reference book book I could buy.
The best reference I know if is Julia Carroll's Costume Jewelry 202.
I have found a bracelet with the mark that says "Copyright by Trifari" (copyright is written in word, not a sign of copyright, and with crown above letter "T"). But in the video wasn't shown any similar mark. Is it fake mark or it's true Trifari?
