Vtg 1949 TRIFARI Pat Pend Gold Tone MERMAID Scale Necklace Alfred Philippe Desig
Individually designed for the woman who loves fashionable jewels. The Parisian collarette, fashioned into gleaming scales of golden. Perfect complement to your high or low necklines, ensembled with bracelet and earrings of subtle elegance. Rarely seen, this is a beautiful vintage Trifari necklace with a gold tone finish. This statement piece features scales reminiscent of the mythological mermaid's tail and was patented in 1949 by the designer Alfred Philippe.

The necklace is pre-owned but has been well taken care of and is in good shape with moderate plate loss (mostly on the back). The design patent (shown in photos/not included) was filed for in October 1948 and approved in January 1949. The necklace is significant for its historical value, as it was designed by Alfred Philippe, one of Trifari's most famous craftsmen. Prior to Trifari, Philippe designed for Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels.

Also shown in photos (not included) is the original Trifari advertisement showcasing this design. This stunning accessory is perfect for adding a touch of glamour to any outfit. The chain style makes it versatile and easy to pair with other pieces of jewelry. It is beautifully designed and well made, with a unique and eye-catching scale pattern.

It is well made and substantial. Enlarge/zoom photos for detailed view and measurements.

In good preowned vintage condition with wear as associated with age/use/storage. Due to the quantity and variety of materials of items we list, we are unable to perform a thorough cleaning on this piece beyond the quick dusting.
