Trifari question

[wardbraun]

I can not look at one more page of Trifari gold tone jewelry...so I’m here to ask...does anyone know if this set has a name? I came across a similar style that they called “Sahara” but this doesn’t seem quite the same. These look like twisted cactus or nuggets. Also, do the striated beads have a particular name? I was trying to get a date on the marks on the IJ site and if I’m reading it right, the hang tag (on the necklace) wasn’t used till 1954 but after 1955 a copyright mark should be on the findings. No crown on the necklace finding either, weird.  Small window of time for the marks on my three items, lol. What do you all think?

Finally...only took about 10 tries to be able to post!  LOL

Found this

Found one like yours (elsewhere) in black..might help with description (other than using granular/Lucite beads) your beads look glass or can you tell?

That is indeed it! (My beads are lucite) Dang, I was kind of hoping they had a name cooler than “granular”.  Like... from the ultra famous, much ballyhooed  “ Twisted Golden Cactus Collection”, featuring subtle striped cantaloupe skin beads. Oh well.. I’ll take granular I guess!  Their piece is in much better condition too. It’s interesting that you can tell the former owner of my set wore the necklace, but wore the bracelet a lot, and didn’t seem to wear the earrings at all. Lol. Interesting that their necklace has the hang tag and no crown too. Any ideas on why the mark differences on my set?

I dunno..to me  the term granular indicates texturing & your beads look smooth with faint striations.  

Since monitor colors can appear different..you can check here to compare with the actual beads...I see a light sand or light tan..

There is a look of Granulation to the bumpy surface of the twisted goldtone accent beads. Not exactly Granulation.

Re the light honey(?) colored beads. I see a faint swirl in them which might make me use Faux Amber to describe them?

1940....the custard (?) color lucite beads are smooth. The gold tone beads are the bumpy ones. Here’s a closer picture. 
Crow...the lucite beads aren’t really swirly, more like a subtle line going across side to side. Maybe I’m looking at them too closely! 

In any case these do have a bit of gold wear on the necklace and bracelet so don’t spend any more time researching!  I just thought if someone knew off hand that it came from a named “collection” it might help bring eyes.

My bad..I saw the nugget beads..I thought we were talkin about the brown ones  lol
