‘La Triomphe’ was the name given to a range of jewelry created by the American firm Astoria Jewelry Manufacturing Company of Long Island, New York, circa 1965. They created some wonderfully bold pieces over the next two decades, including rings, bracelets, and earrings — most often in yellow gold with colorful gemstones such as tourmaline, lapis lazuli, and emerald. While the name is no longer in use, the jewelry remains  appreciated for its vibrant colors, strong designs, and vintage aesthetic.
