This Absolutely Glamorous TRIFARI "Forbidden Fruit" Set (featuring: Crystal Baguette Rhinestones on Rhodium Trifanium) was designed by Alfred Philippe in 1950. This Set would be a Wonderful addition to any Vintage Jewelry Collection.. These Pieces were featured in a few advertisements, "In the Foreground of Fashion - Jewels by Trifari" and Pick Her Gift from the Tree of Dreams - Jewels by Trifari.
This set was also featured in Julia C. Carroll's Book "Collecting Costume Jewelry 202 - Second Edition, " on page #238...
The Glamorous Necklace belonged to my Grandmother and has been in family storage for decades... I believe this Set is in overall EXCELLENT Vintage condition, consistent with age and wear. I see no major or obvious flaws, the metals are shiny and the Rhinestones appear vibrant...
The Display box is NOT included. Please see photos as they are part of the overall description....
