Description
This necklace and earrings set from the 1950s may look like it is made of glass, but actually these milky white beads with swirls of pink are angel skin coral. This particular shade of coral looks rather like it is "blushing" and is quite lovely. The round beads are hand-knotted with a gold metal oval clasp set with another piece of coral. The necklace has the tiny metal hang tag that marks it as Trifari, as well as their signature mark stamped on the back. The "button" earrings have gold metal clip backs, also marked Trifari. Since the necklace clasp and the earrings are stamped on the back of the clips with a circa 1950s Trifari mark, but without the copyright symbol, they should date to pre-1955; apparently Trifari used the copyright mark on their signature post-1955. This pretty and feminine set is in very good to excellent condition with two minor issues: some visible glue where the coral is set onto the earring clip backs and a tiny bit of verdigris on the necklace string, next to the clasp.
