Trifari distilled the sailboat into its essential geometry here — a single sweeping mast, triangular sails reduced to pure line and negative space, a curved hull that echoes the horizon. It is a study in confident restraint, the kind of design that looks as current now as it did when it left the studio. Signed with the crown Trifari mark and copyright symbol, placing it firmly within the label's most collectible mid-century period. Trifari's reputation for designer-quality costume jewelry — built under head designer Alfred Philippe and worn by First Lady Mamie Eisenhower — makes signed pieces consistently sought after.
