1960s Trifari Gold Textured Articulated Necklace

This choker necklace by Trifari was designed in the 1960s. Made up of 15 interconnected plates, they are broken up with erratic cracks and textured to look almost scale-like. The overall effect is that of a reptile or snake skin, even down to the way the plates move against each other. Crafted from a gold-toned alloy base metal, the necklace has a soft pale yellow-gold hue and fastens with a snap lock clasp. The rear of this necklace features Trifari’s famous stamp. As the brand stated in their mid-century adverts, “if it isn’t signed, it isn’t Trifari.” Known as “Crown Trifari”, the crown symbol above the T on Trifari followed by the copyright symbol dates this piece to 1955-1969 but we believe this to be mid to late 1960s.

This necklace is in very good to excellent vintage condition with the following observed. There is a slight bit of wear to the gold on one of the pieces and a tiny bit of wear to the clasp. Please check the below measurements to ensure the best fit.
