Trifari "Crown" Owl Pendant Necklace
This is a vintage Trifari owl pendant necklace, likely dating from the 1960s or 1970s, a period popular for whimsical animal jewelry. The pendant features a stylized owl design, set within a circular frame. The owl's 'face' is represented by a textured, brushed silver-tone metal in a V-shape, suggesting feathers, with two prominent, rounded ‘eyes’ showing a darker, possibly enamel or lacquered, background with spiral-like details in silver-tone metal. The overall aesthetic is bold and geometric, characteristic of mid-century design. The pendant appears to be made of a silver-tone base metal, possibly Trifanium, a proprietary alloy used by Trifari, which is known for its durability and resistance to tarnish. The surface of the metal shows a reflective quality, indicating a polished finish, with some areas of brushed or satin finish on the owl's 'face'. The chain is a silver-tone twisted rope or foxtail style, with a spring-ring clasp. One of the close-up images clearly shows a tag near the clasp, marked with the 'Trifari' signature and the 'crown' emblem, indicating authenticity and quality craftsmanship by the renowned jewelry maker. The condition appears to be good with some minor surface wear consistent with age and use, but no significant damage or loss of plating. The design is classic and collectible.
