Trifari Crown 1960's Gold-Tone Trifarizade Casbah Mosaic Tessellated Honeycomb Collier Necklace with Signed Extender
Materials and Features:
Trifarizade "Casbah" Collection Architecture: Intricately detailed, articulated panel-link design from Trifari's celebrated 1968 "Trifarizade" series. This mosaic-tessellated pattern features alternating high-relief "stippled" textured cells and mirror-polished geometric panels, creating a light-refracting effect inspired by mid-century Moroccan design.
Double-Signed Crown-T Extender: A rare, original 1-inch articulated segment with its own dedicated Crown-T fold-over clasp. This allows for custom conversion between a 13.5-inch choker and a 14.5-inch collier length—a technical versatility that is increasingly rare in the collector market.
Archival 85g High-Density Casting: A substantial, heavy-gauge construction representing the premium manufacturing peak of Trifari’s Alfred Philippe era. The 85g weight provides a metallurgical "gravity" and fluid drape that modern, lighter-weight productions cannot achieve.
Open-Work "Lattice" Gallery: A sophisticated, professional open-back reverse casting designed for fluid movement. This "Guts" feature prevents structural stiffness and ensures a premium "Fine Jewelry" feel on the skin.
Mechanical Integrity: Dual high-tension fold-over clasps (main and extender) both bearing the authentic Trifari Crown-T hallmark. Both mechanisms retain high-tension security with a crisp metallic snap.
Age/Origin: c. 1968 / USA
Marks: Trifari © (with Crown symbol above the ‘T’ to both main clasp and extension)
Measurements:
Weight: 85g (Superior high-density archival weight)
Dimensions: Approx. 13.5 Inch inner circumference (expands to 14.5 Inch with extension); 0.75 Inch at widest point.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The gold-tone Trifanium finish is mirror-bright with zero plating loss to the high-polish cells. All mechanical hinges are fluid with no "kinking" or memory-warping.
