Vintage demi, any thoughts on maker?

Was wondering if anyone had thoughts on the maker of this set.  It is fairly heavy, seems well made.  Kind of "Florenza" like --  thanks!

Very pretty.  Reminds me of Goldette pieces.  Check the clasp very closely. 

Though the beauty may be in the butterfly, the struggle and growth occur in the cocoon.

I agree , sandy! It does remind me of goldette.
Sometimes the mark is very faint and hard to read.

Thank you Sandy and Tonette,

 

Goldette is a great thought.  But this is not signed, I'm pretty good at checking, but took a long hard look with my best magnifier. Nothing, neither on the earrings nor the necklace.   I wonder if Goldette ever didn't sign their pieces???  I searched Ebay under Goldette, one hopeful thing is that they seemed to do these demi sets, always earrings/necklace.  You don't see a bracelet ever.  So that would certainly match.

 

When I first saw it I thought of a bracelet I once had -- with sliding pieces, and that was Goldette, but couldn't come up with the name, so really appreciate it.

 

And the plot thickens slightly, because same day (again this is a thrift that NEVER has jewelry) I found this bracelet.  It had to be from the same lot as the necklace/earrings.  Same former owner, I'll bet money on it. 

 

This has one stone missing, see at the bottom of the piece, but there was no way I was going to pass on it for --I think $2.99.   This looks sort of "goldette-like" as well.  Any thoughts on what color the missing stone would have been?

Not all Goldette was signed.  I agree your bracelet does look like Goldette too.

Thanks.  Good to know, so maybe all of this is Goldette. It might be hard to see in the photos, but these are really nicely made, so I wouldn't be surprised. The necklace weighs a ton, just a lot of solid metal. Both of these pieces might be keepers for a while.  I've always been partial to this era of jewelry, but good to know if I do wind up selling.

 

Thanks for the help with this.
