Trifari is a pre-eminent jewelry manufacturing company that produces high-quality and beautifully-designed pieces. The company began as Trifari and Trifari in 1910, founded by Gustavo Trifari and his uncle; a few years later, his uncle left and the company was simply Trifari. Leo Krussman joined Trifari in 1917. In 1918, when Carl Fishel joined the company, they renamed the company Trifari, Krussman and Fishel (their hallmark was T.F.K.). Later hallmarks include Trifari (in capital letters) and Trifari (in capital letters with a small crown above the T).

Alfred Philippe, who had been a jewelry designer for Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, designed pieces for Trifari (from 1930 until the 1960s). Some other Trifari designers included Benedetto Panetta, Lucius Passavanti (from about 1955 to 1968), Jean Paris (1958-1965), Andre Boeut (1967-1979), and Diane Love (1971-1974). The plating alloy Trifarium was developed by Trifari.

Trifari was owned by the Hallmark Company from 1975-1988, and by Crystal Brands from 1988-1994. It was then part of the Chase Capital division of the Monet Group, which later went bankrupt and was bought by Liz Claiborne (2000).
