Description
This vintage Crown Trifari three-piece suite includes a double-chain lariat necklace, coordinating panel bracelet, and domed clip earrings. The necklace features a sculptural geometric centerpiece with textured circular motifs and four cascading chain tassels that create graceful movement.
The lariat design is particularly striking, with two twisted chain strands leading into the dramatic pendant. Four delicate chain drops extend from the center, each approximately six inches long, finishing the design with elegant movement and vintage glamour.
The matching bracelet features seven articulated panels with the same textured circular motif found on the necklace centerpiece. The bracelet closes securely with a fold-over clasp and maintains excellent articulation and structure.
Completing the suite are slightly domed clip earrings with the same textured circular design, creating a cohesive and sophisticated set.
All pieces are signed Crown Trifari, indicating production during the brand’s highly regarded mid-century era.

Styling Notes
This suite is a true statement ensemble. The lariat design draws the eye downward and works beautifully with evening wear, structured blouses, or vintage-inspired dresses. Worn together, the necklace, bracelet, and earrings create a bold mid-century glamour look. The necklace also pairs beautifully alone as a focal piece.
Collector’s Note
Crown Trifari pieces are among the most collectible examples of American costume jewelry. During the mid-20th century, Trifari employed talented designers and produced jewelry with exceptional quality plating and craftsmanship.
Complete signed suites such as this—with necklace, bracelet, and earrings intact—are increasingly difficult to find, making this an especially desirable addition for collectors.
