In the 1930s, the celebrated French designer Alfred Philippe, who had worked for prestigious high jewelry maisons such as Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, joined the company.

Thanks to his talent, Trifari revolutionized the costume jewelry sector, introducing innovative techniques and high-quality materials that made the jewelry resemble pieces made with precious stones. The collections were distinguished by their elegance, attention to detail, and original designs.

During the 1940s and 1950s, considered the brand's golden age, Trifari created necklaces, brooches, earrings, and bracelets inspired by nature, flowers, animals, and Hollywood style. Its jewelry was worn by actresses, socialites, and even members of the British Royal Family. The quality of the craftsmanship helped make the brand a benchmark in luxury costume jewelry.

In the following years, Trifari continued to innovate, following the evolution of fashion without compromising its refined style. After various changes in ownership, the brand became part of the Monet group and subsequently other major jewelry manufacturers.
