Made of cascading waterfall glass crystals consisting of 34 strand drops of 1- 5 graduated size crystals on each drop andsingle rhinestones in the chain. This is a truely stunning piece. Made of Trifanium (base metal that looked similar to silver or gold). This alloy that they created was resistant to tarnish, and it was smooth and durable enough to double as an alternative to precious metal. With the creation of this alloy, Trifari rose even more on the popularity rank. Trifanium is a patented, shiny, and non-tarnishing metal alloy developed by the Trifari company in 1947. Used heavily from the 1950s onwards, it was designed to mimic precious metals, typically plated with yellow gold or rhodium (silver-toned) for high-quality costume jewelry.
