Product Description

Trifari "METEOR" Collection Necklace

APP. YEAR OF MANUFACTURING - 1949 

Gold Plated metal with channel set with clear baguette rhinestones BACKMARKS - Trifari Crown without © symbol, PAT. PEND 

 Featured in the book "Collecting Costume Jewelry 202"  by Julia C. Carroll on page 231.

 Beautiful vintage condition, all stones present and brilliant, rhodium plated over gold plated metal finish is very good, better than identical necklaces I've run into over the years. Nice and bright with little to none of the light "spotting" consistently seen in these pieces. 

Measures 14.25" long including the fold over clasp 

 

Of interest is the design of the centerpiece in this necklace. Check out the photos above of the back this necklace and the back of the Art Deco brooch and compare them. The Art Deco, silver rhodium plated, channel set, clear rhinestones brooch (which I have for sale right now) looks very much like a Trifari piece but it is unsigned. However, the design and construction of it is very close to the construction of the  centerpiece seen here in this necklace. I added comparison photos, Thought it would be fun to see them together and look at the similaraties  in each design. Anyway, just a mystery of which there are many in this business, lol!
