Even on the back of the necklace's hook. I would have expected a nice set like this to be signed on at least one of the pieces, but it isn't.

What a pretty set! It reminds me of Coro, but others will be better able to analyze the details.

This is a better photo of the set.

Napier would also be a possibility. Not sure if any of their pieces were unsigned -- don't know a whole lot about Napier overall. I have the book but it's at home (and I'm not). I'm looking forward to others' thoughts!

I have a choker here with that same keyhole type of chain and hook. I'd also be curious to find out who made it.

Looks kind of like Lisner.

Well, I went through the 50s section of the Napier book and didn't see any necklaces that used "peanut chain" or the ridged-ball dangle. (I'd gone through the 60s the other day on another post; don't remember anything like this.) I wonder if Sandy has the ridged ball on her dangles site? While I did see some moonglow beads in similar settings, there was nothing like that brooch either.
I'd say 50s or 60s for era (because moonglow) and wouldn't look too hard for a maker, unless you can ID the dangle. It looks well made and was probably an "open line" made by a jobber and sold under a department store house label. Should do well on its own merits.

I was thinking lily of the valley!

Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions!
Will just list it as Unsigned beauty.
