On this piece
Trifari made jewelry at every level for the American market, but the great pieces came in limited runs, sent to the large department stores around the holidays and sold to their best customers, often by invitation. The Jewels of India pieces, drawn in large part from Cartier's Moghul commissions and its visits to the Indian maharajas, are the most sought after of them, and this is the full suite: necklace with double drop pendants, link bracelet, and dangle pierced earrings, in a glossy gold plate with imported multicolor glass cabochons and sparkling crystal rhinestones. All four pieces are signed with the Trifari TM mark. The necklace is approximately 22.5 inches, with a 2-inch center pendant and a spectacular 7 3/8-inch drop; the bracelet is 7.5 inches long and 1 inch at its widest; the earrings are 5/8 inch wide and 1.75 inches tall. New, unworn, mint. Rare to find the set at all, and beyond rare to find it untouched.
