Gustavo Trifari, the company’s founder, came from a family of goldsmiths in Naples, Italy. Trifari came to the United States in the early 20th century and began making his beautiful Trifari jewelry in 1910. Soon after launching the Trifari costume jewelry line, Gustavo Trifari joined forces with his uncle and renamed the business Trifari and Trifari. After the uncle left the company, Trifari kept fabricating his costume jewelry under the Trifari brand. By 1925, Gustavo Trifaro combined his brand with sales managers Leo Krussman and Carl Fishel. The growing company was known as Trifari, Krussman and Fishel.
