I love how thrifts shops spit up a set of jewelry. A little thrift near me had their holiday sale. In the case lay the necklace. The brooch was stuck on a padded cork board display on the counter. The earrings didn't show up until an attendee said " Where are the clip earrings?" I was wondering this myself. The sweet volunteer lady said: "Oh I have a tray of them in the back, I'll go get them if you want.". Voila, the earrings arrived. This set is from a 1963 Trifari ad for the line Cavalcade. The brooch wasn't in that ad, but looks to be the same style and metal finish. Do you know what advertisement it was in? All pieces are signed Trifari with the copyright C. The necklace has the tiny T charm also.
Beautiful set, love the brooch - happy holidays
Thanks for the info and comments and Happy Holidays!
Eileen Thanks. At this sale there was another Trifari collector. It was fun to meet her. I gave her the Trifari earrings that would match the other Trifari brooch she took off the cork board, We had a great time. I do love hunting this stuff. I know it is crazy but I think it is fun.
Here's a Trifari ad for this set.

Hi Gillian, Looks like I have Barbara's necklace and Denise's earrings. I really like Katie's earrings. Thanks for posting the ad.
Mary - So true! I have a bracelet here and a brooch there, but not many matching sets.

I added better photos, I hope that shows the set in a better light.
Hi Eileen, Nice to hear from you and I couldn't agree more. I hope someday to find the bracelet!
Nice! I don’t collect Trifari, but your post has made me go searching for pieces. Just Lovely.
