Vintage White Enamel Scrollwork Flower Pendant Necklace and Earring Set
Unbranded (Style consistent with 1960s Trifari or Coro) · Jewelry & Watches > Vintage Costume Jewelry
Era / Decade
1960s (Mid-Century Modern). Clues: White enamel 'Mod' aesthetic, filigree/scrollwork design, and the clip-on earring mechanism visible on one piece.
Material
Base metal with a white enamel (cold painted) finish. Traditional base metal chain. Quality is typical of mid-market costume jewelry of the era.
Condition
Fair to Good. There is significant enamel chipping and 'flea bites' on the edges of the pendant and earrings. The metal shows signs of oxidation and patina, especially on the chain.
Demand Level
Moderate. Vintage enamel jewelry has a steady base of collectors, particularly in the spring/summer months, but the condition issues limit its desirability to 'as-is' collectors.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$15.00 - $35.00

Description
This charming vintage 1960s costume jewelry set features a large 6-point star/flower pendant with intricate scrollwork detailing and matching clip-on earrings. The set is finished in a classic 'Mod' white enamel over silver-tone metal. The pendant hangs from a matching textured link chain. Perfect for fans of mid-century aesthetics or retro spring/summer styling.
Key Features
Matching set (necklace and earrings), striking large-scale pendant, popular 1960s 'Mod' white enamel style, intricate floral/geometric scroll design.
Authenticity Indicators
Construction matches 1960s production methods. Confidence is High that it is vintage, though likely an unbranded mass-produced set rather than a high-end designer piece as no signature is visible in the photos.
Flaws to Note
Noticeable enamel loss and chipping throughout all pieces, which is common for 'cold painted' vintage jewelry. Significant tarnish on the chain. One earring back shows some discoloration/corrosion.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (for the vintage value), eBay (broadest audience), or Depop (younger demographic interested in 'grandmacore' or retro aesthetics).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Mod', '1960s', 'Chalk White Enamel', and 'Filigree'. Take photos against a dark background to make the white enamel pop. Do not attempt to scrub the enamel as it may flake further; a gentle wipe with a dry cloth is sufficient.
