About The Brand

In the 1970s, Japanese architect Kunio Matsumoto created a bespoke line for the jewelry designer and company, Trifari. The line was highly popular during its day and the architectural whimsey and attention to detail can be seen in his pieces.

Trifari was established in 1910 in New York City by Gustavo Trifari and his uncle under the name Trifari & Trifari. In 1912, Gustavo broke away from his uncle and began producing high-quality pieces under the name Trifari. Due to World War II, Trifari had to shift from using base metals to using sterling silver- Trifari went on to create ‘Trifanium,’ a special alloy. Hollywood and Broadway stars loved wearing Trifari pieces, helping to catapult the success of the brand. First Lady, Mamie Eisenhower, commissioned Trifari to make her jewelry for her inaugural ball outfits in 1953 and 1957. The brand basically ended when the company was bought by the Monet Group in 1994, and then it was acquired by Liz Claiborne in 2000.
