On this piece
Trifari's fruit salad pieces are close to extinct, and for two plain reasons: very few were ever made, because the molded glass Trifari imported from France was expensive, and almost nobody who owns one wants to sell. The acorn glass here is a sky blue that genuinely glows when the light reaches it, set along a rhodium-plated silver finish and finished with aurora borealis rhinestones for the sparkle between. It is signed with the Crown Trifari mark and a copyright on the hook clasp. The necklace is 16.5 inches long and half an inch wide, in excellent condition. Fruit salad in this color and this condition is not a piece one waits for a second chance at.
