835 is the purity hallmark of European silver, which is 83.5% silver and 16.5%, copper. That tells you that the pearls are European but not where or when they were made. It's possible the pearls in the double strand necklace are cultured pearls. The bracelet looks like it's "costume"...

I refer to this clasp as a "thumbless" clasp, too. How long is the necklace? What size are the beads? I think it is early '60s - or could possibly be very late '50s because of the textured gold colored beads - as Janine mentioned.

I see the "orange" that Maggie sees - and think the amaranth is a bit too "blue". I see the color of a red/orange Crayon: . . Not exact but "close" - !!! Of course it may look different in person and on different people's monitors!

The coat looks very late '60s to me, too. It might have been a "maxi" coat that was shortened. I agree with Mary Jane about making sure that the hem was not cut before you restore it to a longer length.

Although Trifari advertised that all of their pieces were signed, I have seen a few unsigned pieces that date to the era of your brooch. I have several pieces of unsigned KTF from the late 1930s, and some unsigned earrings from the 1940s with the distinctive earring clips Trifari used...

I see small loops in the fabric; it looks like a wool bouclé (or bouclette) to me. Is the garment a vintage coat? The label and what I can see looks C. 1950s.

It looks to me like a type of lily but I think the artist has taken a bit of artistic license in the depiction. Stephanotis is a climbing plant with a lovely small fragrant blossom: This is a lily:

From my (long ago) Sold Archives - Hollycraft Earrings Whiting & Davis - Full Parure - from my Sold Archives

Congratulations on finding the maker. They are listed on CJCI. I think I have had a very similar necklace but I was not familiar with the company or the mark.

I think you are correct dating it late '50s, early '60s. I see it more as a garden party, maybe debutante/prom dress rather than a wedding gown but of course now it would make a lovely wedding gown.

I agree with '50s, also.

The gown looks late '30s to me - I wonder if the hidden zipper at the night have been added later? It would help to see it. (The zipper.)

It's hard to pick favorites - these are three of my favorite party dresses - all from my personal collection: A 1950s mint green dress with ecru lace overlay. Mari for I. Magnin cotton chintz print dress - also found with a Suzy Perette Labe And this late 1940s Black rayon...
