Golden Thistle - Gold Plated Trifari Earrings

Made during Trifari’s golden era of costume jewelry, these clip-on earrings feature bold crescent hoops terminating in richly textured, acorn- or thistle-like drops. The gold plating has that warm, buttery tone Trifari was known for, and the construction feels intentional and solid — not hollow, not flimsy, not trying to be delicate.

They’re statement earrings, but refined — the kind of piece that elevates a simple black dress, crisp white blouse, or even a chunky knit without feeling costume-y. Classic mid-century Trifari at its best: wearable, enduring, and designed to last decades.

Trifari was beloved for exactly this reason — pieces that feel luxurious and intentional. 

Wear it to remember: You don’t have to be small to be elegant. Weight can be beautiful.
