They are not stamped. When I bought them years ago they are Trifari earrings.
They are in excellent conditions.
Have a nice weekend.

There is no such thing as "unsigned vintage Trifari." I can't tell you how often I run across a listing that claims that the piece is an unsigned Trifari. Trifari signed virtually all of their pieces, and even ran ads letting people know that if a piece was not signed, it was not Trifari. There were lesser manufacturers who did copy some Trifari designs, but Trifari was pretty diligent about protecting their designs and patented most of them until the copyright law was modified in 1955 to allow jewelry designs to be copyrighted.

After the Trifari company was bought out by Liz Claiborne in 2000 (along w

This above is from a site that talks about the Trifari brand. I have never seen an unsigned Trifari piece myself.

However, I guess anything is possible.

I apparently made a mistake. Are you bidding on these, or maybe I should just pull them and edit the description of these earrings.

FROM THE TRIFARI SITE: The first thing to know is that all Trifari Vintage Jewelry is signed. There may be a very rare case of an early (pre 1930's) unsigned Trifari, but that would be a very unusual exception to the rule. Trifari did run print ads to inform customers that "if it isn't signed, it isn't Trifari." Lesser companies did copy designs from the major jewelry makers, so it's not unusual to find a piece that looks like a Trifari design, but is not signed. It's not an "unsigned Trifari" - it's a lesser quality knockoff.

Dear Bidders, it has been brought to my attention that these earrings are not Trifari by one of the bidders. They could be Monet or Nippon, I can't remember exactly. I bought they years ago and during the time I bought these earrings I couldn't afford to buy the real (gold) jewelry, so the next best thing at that time period I would buy Trifari, Monet, and Nappon fashion jewelry.
I apologize if I have offended anyone. I did not intentionally mislead this auction by all means. If there was a way I could edit the title of this auction, indeed I would. I sincerely apologizes!
