Exquisite Craftsmanship The jewelers that Trifari hired to create his jewels pulled no punches; they knew exactly what they were doing. The most notable name of his time was Alfred Philippe, a designer that worked for companies such as Van Cleef & Arpels & Cartier before joining Trifari. Alfred Philippe, head designer of Trifari Jewelry Trifari was actually transformed once Philippe joined their forces. He had developed several techniques at the previous companies that he worked at, such as the invisible gemstone setting. Philippe remained with Trifari until the moment he retired in 1968, but collectors agree that the pieces designed by him were exquisite. His designs are always been greatly sought by collectors throughout various times.
