RARE vintage mid century modern Trifari collar or cuff necklace:
~ Dog collar type slip on design
~ Fabulous shimmering light reflecting moire fabric pattern machined in the metal
~ Bright rich elegant gold toned metal
~ I couldn't find any similar examples - I have a feeling this is a rare necklace
~ Elements of both art deco egyptian revival pieces of theirs and mid century mod designs - so it makes it difficult to speculate on the exact era - true vintage for certain
~ Unique timeless classy high piece
Ready and waiting for your neck or collection - you will love this!
Marks = TRIFARI with a crown over the T marked on the inside of both end finials. No copyright c or patent marks at all that I could find, which is unusual
Measurements = 1" wide - round in shape when viewing from the top and measures aprox 4" x 4" - unflexed. There is give to the piece to allow you to slip it on. I would guess it is for an average to petite sized neck
CONDITION: Great vintage condition - no damage to mention. When viewing the left side from a certain angle there is a slightly darker spot in the finish - very insignificant. Fingerprint shaped - so it very well may clean up, should you desire. I have not cleaned this at all. See last pic.
View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged. I will note anything glaring or distracting. Please utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all.
