Trifari: Mamie

Trifari tying me up in knots. Again.  

Founded in 1910 by an Italian immigrant and his uncle the brand quickly established a following in the American market. * 

Clientele included First Lady Mamie Eisenhower, who commissioned a rhinestone and pearl set to go with the sparkling pink gown she wore to the 1953 Inaugural Ball.**

Perfect mix of sharp edges and soft curves. Strong clips. Little to no signs of wear.

Feels pretty fancy. Has plans to aspire to greatness. With the right company, of course.
