Other: The designers at Trifari were trained and worked for the high end and elite fine jewelry firms of the mid 20th Century. The lead designer at Trifari from 1930 to 1968 was Alfred Philippe. Early 1930 Alfred Philippe joined Trifari as head designer, he's considered a top master craftsman in fine jewellery for Cartier and Van Cleef and Arples. His designs became very popular especially the well known designs known as fruit salad (also known as Tutti Frutti) jewelry. The company was run 1910 to 1975 by the originating founders and sons of those founders. In 1975 Trifari was purchased by several other companies. Pieces designed by Alfred Philippe are highly desired.
