Trifari Goldtone Clip Earrings

Yes, another cool vintage design by Trifari.  These goldtone clip earrings feature a rope-like texture which make them extremely unique and appealing to the eye.  According to their maker mark, they were made sometime after 1954, most likely right around that time judging from their look.   

"Knots" in jewelry can have significant meanings, although I believe these earrings were not designed with any specific meaning involved.  However, these earrings resemble some of the beautiful Chinese knots which symbolize a wide variety of ideas from eternity, Buddha, marital happiness, and most often luck.
