40-50's Trifari Necklace

Curious if I can find identical online. Any keywords describing the panels?

 

You may already know this, but the mark on this suggests Crown Trifari rather than just Trifari.

I wouldn't imagine most items are marked with the Pat Pend, so that might help you find a similar one. No idea on how to describe those links...hopefully someone else has an idea. They look like little vases to me.

 

98 listings on ebay for "Trifari Pat Pend" but none quite like yours. I also checked sold items.

ETA: they look like the shape of strawberries without a stem, though they obviously aren't strawberries.

 

Thanks for trying.
They did tons of different designs. I'll figure out something

 

Swirl, stylized shells, flames, soft serve ice cream.

Thank you both.
That was smart, to look for the patent.

 

You're welcome.
If I had a nickle for every minute I've spent going through jewelry patents (especially Trifari) I'd be a rich woman.
Here's my go-to page, scroll down and to the left are the individual companies.

Great work, Calico and lauragarnet!

 

Great link! I didn't know you could look for jewelry patents by company when you don't have an actual patent number to use. Thanks for that!

 

Thank you Fig, and you're very welcome T.D.C.
