    I didn’t see it on the mystery dangle site. Hoping someone recognizes it

    Thank you!

    Can we see the back of the earrings and the necklace? The front doesn't look particularly old to me.

    It looks a bit Coro like with that hook and the flowers. I don’t recognise the dangle but they have several different ones.

    Crud! Didn’t think it could be new. I kinda thought Coro too but I can’t locate the dangle

    I also thought newer at first glance, but seeing the clip earrings, it probably is vintage. I've never seen similar, if I had to guess I would say some brand like Avon or an off brand. The dangle may be more of a decoration than an official dangle connected with a maker.

    It's colorful and not what you see every day. Hopefully someone will ID, but it's not ringing any bells for me. Nice you have the demi parure.

    I guess the front does kinda have a newer look to it. Gotta watch out for all the copied imports being brought over now. Just got a brand new Jomaz butterfly copy sold as real. Grrr

    Reminds me a bit of Michael Negrin's stuff, but his dangle has his name.

    Lovely necklace and earrings. I don't recognize the dangle, and agree with those who think your set looks newer. What makes it look newer to me is the pearly enameling, especially in the 4th photo. I collect vintage jewelry and don't recall seeing that kind of enameling on 50's-60's jewelry. The AB rhinestones look like they were made before silvered foiling was replaced by "fake-foil" on rhinestones, so my guess would be 1980s-90s (clip earrings are still being made today). [edit] Or it could have been made more recently using older rhinestones. Whether your set is newer or vintage, it looks well made, in perfect condition, and would look beautiful with a spring or summer dress. Here's a pair of Joan Rivers clip earrings with the same type of pearly enameling (she started selling jewelry in 1990). The photo is from https://poshmark.com/listing/Joan-R...flower-clip-earrings-629ba3b29e1559bb0864cbdc.

    I wonder if it’s a modern copy of a Coro as there seem to be a huge amount of true vintage heading to China and copies coming back. I was looking at a ‘meant to be Schreiner’ looky-likey today at the antiques fair, it was good but the rings they use to hold the two layers together didn’t look quite right so for £35 I left it behind. I’m very suspicious of unsigned jewellery that looks right but is usually signed.

    I too wonder if it's a modern copy, or at least inspired by 1950's jewelry. If not Coro, it could be Lisner, Leru, or Charel which also made similar flower jewelry in the 1950s. Charel necklaces used an almost identical chain but without the texture, and only one gold bead dangle.

    The front looks modern but the back says late 60s. That's as far as I'd guarentee. There were a lot of companies manufacturing at the time who didn't mark anything. (jobbers) Rhode Island/North Attleboro MA were full of them.

    Almost looks like a Liz Claiborne mark.

    I can't give opinion but just to say these are lovely! I would have bought them no matter what they are, new or old, brand or not.
