Historical references to Trifari jewelry marks, including “Crown Trifari,” “TRIFARI PAT PEND,” and crown stampings are used for educational and authentication purposes.

Photographs of vintage Trifari jewelry pieces, including the Tutti Frutti fur clip, dogwood flower brooches, sapphire tennis bracelets, floral necklaces, and other featured items, are either owned by us, licensed for our use, or used with permission from third-party sellers.

You may not use any content from this Website for commercial purposes without obtaining a license to do so from us or our licensors. Unauthorized use of any content may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws.

4. External Websites

Our Service contains links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Trifari®. These include but are not limited to:

Trifari® has no control over and assumes no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, terms of service, or practices of any third-party websites or services. We do not warrant the offerings of any of these entities, individuals, or their websites.

When you click on links to external sellers or marketplaces, you will be subject to their terms and conditions and privacy policies. You acknowledge and agree that Trifari® shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such content, goods, or services available on or through any such websites or services.

Transactions conducted through third-party platforms are governed by those platforms’ policies. Pricing, availability, shipping, returns, and customer service for products listed on external websites are the sole responsibility of those third-party sellers.

We strongly advise you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of any third-party websites or services that you visit. The inclusion of any links does not necessarily imply a recommendation or endorse the views expressed within them.

5. Affiliate Disclosure and Commission

Trifarico.com participates in affiliate marketing programs and may earn commissions on purchases made through links on our Website. We maintain transparency in all our affiliate relationships.

Nature of Affiliate Relationships:

When you click on certain links to external sellers and marketplaces featured on our Website and make a purchase, we may receive a commission or referral fee. This includes but is not limited to links directing to vintage jewelry listings on eBay, LiveAuctioneers, Morninggloryjewelry, Dsfantiquejewelry, and other authorized vintage jewelry dealers.

These affiliate commissions help support the operation and maintenance of trifarico.com, allowing us to continue providing educational content about vintage Trifari jewelry, authentication guidance, historical research, and curated listings of authentic pieces.

Editorial Independence:

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our commitment to accuracy and authenticity. All Trifari jewelry pieces featured on our Website are selected based on verification of authentic markings, period-appropriate construction, documented provenance, and quality standards consistent with genuine Trifari production from 1910 through various decades of manufacture.

Product descriptions, measurements, condition assessments, and authentication details are provided objectively. When we describe a Crown Trifari tulip brooch at 2¼ × 1¼ inches or a 15-inch patent pending choker, those specifications come from direct examination using calipers and verification against known period work, not from seller-provided information alone.

Price Transparency:

Prices displayed for vintage Trifari pieces reflect current market listings and may change without notice. The price range mentioned on our Website ($90.00 to $2,250.00 spanning from chokers to crystal-set clips, with entry points as low as $10 for certain gold-tone lots) represents actual verified listings at the time of publication.

Your purchase price is determined by the third-party seller at the time of transaction. We do not control pricing, and any commission we receive does not increase the price you pay.

6. Product Listings and Availability

Trifarico.com serves as an informational resource and directory for vintage Trifari jewelry pieces. We provide detailed descriptions, authentication guidance, and links to authorized sellers, but we do not maintain physical inventory or process direct transactions through this Website.

Product Information Accuracy:

We make every effort to ensure that product descriptions, measurements, condition assessments, and historical information about vintage Trifari pieces are accurate and current. However, vintage jewelry is by nature unique, and each piece may show variations in:

When authentication marks are partial or faint, we describe exactly what remains legible rather than assuming complete certainty. Our 88% signature verification rate reflects direct photographic examination of reverse stampings on pins and clasps.

Measurements and Specifications:

All dimensions provided (such as the 2.75 × 1.75 inches for a gold-tone pin, 15 inches for specific chokers, or 16½ inches for certain necklaces) are measured from actual pieces using calipers, not borrowed from other sellers’ descriptions.

Buyers should note that a 15-inch choker fits differently depending on individual neck measurements. We recommend measuring your neck with a soft tape and adding approximately one inch. On a 13-inch neck, a 15-inch choker drapes loosely; at 15 inches it fits snugly.

Availability and Inventory:

Vintage Trifari pieces are one-of-a-kind or limited-quantity items. Availability changes rapidly as pieces are sold through third-party marketplaces. We update listings regularly but cannot guarantee that any specific item remains available at the time you click through to a seller.

The 115 bidder feedback entries and 4.6-4.7 buyer ratings mentioned reflect verified transaction data from third-party platforms at the time of compilation.

No Purchase Guarantee:

We do not guarantee that any product will be available for purchase, that any price will remain constant, or that any transaction will be completed successfully. All purchases are subject to the terms, conditions, and policies of the third-party seller or marketplace through which the transaction occurs.

7. Submissions and Feedback

If you submit suggestions, ideas, comments, questions, reviews, or other feedback (“Submissions”) to us through email, contact forms, or other communication channels, you grant Trifari® a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such Submissions in any media.

You represent and warrant that any Submissions you provide are original to you and do not violate the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or other rights of any third party.

We may use customer testimonials, reviews, and feedback in our marketing materials, on our Website, and in other promotional contexts. If you provide a review that includes personal information, we will handle that information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

You agree that any feedback or reviews you provide will be truthful and based on your genuine experience. You will not submit false, misleading, or fraudulent reviews or feedback.

We reserve the right to monitor, edit, or remove any Submissions at our sole discretion, particularly those that contain offensive language, false information, spam, or content that violates these Terms.
