1950s Crown Trifari Invisibly-Set Ruby Cuff

Ruby red, set so you can’t see how it’s held. This Crown Trifari cuff comes from the coveted invisibly-set glass collection — the technique borrowed from Cartier and Van Cleef, where each square-faceted stone is grooved and slotted into a hidden framework so the surface reads as one seamless ribbon of color, no prongs anywhere. Here a single row of unfoiled ruby-red stones runs the length, flanked by round crystal rhinestones, the cuff angled into six segments a side and joined into one continuous frame across the wrist, all in Trifari’s warm gold plate. It even arrives in a Trifari blue box. These invisibly-set pieces are among the most prized Trifari ever made — and their value keeps climbing as they vanish — precisely because so few costume houses could execute the setting at all. Deep, seamless red, engineered to perfection. A connoisseur’s cuff, in excellent condition.
