Trifari Jewelry Company was responsible for the 1954 landmark copyright case in which it was established that fashion jewelry design was a work of art and therefore able to be copyrighted. The jewelry pieces from the onset through the 1970s is highly collectible - extremely collectible are the older KTF and TKF pieces, the Cartier inspired "tutti-fruitti" or "fruit salad", the jelly bellies made of clear lucite and the enameled flowers and figurals from the 1940s.
