It's interesting to note that Florenza did not produce sweater guards as part of their general line of merchandise. Instead, these were made whenever appropriate-size components were leftover. Tw oexamples made from earring and necklace section castings.

1. Trifanium (TRI-three,FA-famous,IUM suffix for metal) a patented plating was invented by Trifari, and came in golden tone and platinum tone. It was a non-tarnishing silver substitute and not used on sterling.
2. KTF, an early Trifari mark, stood for Krussman(Leo), Trifari(Gustavo) and Fishel(Carl).
3. "First Lady Mamie Eisenhower commissioned Trifari (Alfred Philippe) during the 1950s, and wore specially made pieces (pearl jewelry) for the 1953 and 1957 Presidential Inaugural balls. More recently, Madonna glittered in a ‘Jewels of India’ pin and a pair of Trifari earrings, inspired by a 1920s Cartier design, in the blockbusting ‘90s film Evita"... quote from Judith Miller, author....

4. Items marked "ORESTO" are not Pennino.
5. Pennino never made jewelry for other companies.
