According to my interpretation of this,
this should date this set to pre-1955 as it has the PAT. PEND. marks on all the pieces.

I have pics of the Marks if you would like to see them, Email me and I will send them to you.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I was hoping for a more definitive answer than that. I am sure you are just being friendly and helpful, but I need a reputable source ie. a book or web site that has the information I can reference so that I do not mislead people when I list something. I hope you understand, I AM NOT trying to be rude or ungrateful for your help, but I need more than your personal opinion.
Having said that, do you have a reference I can go to, ie. a book or website ???

Thanks for the help !!!

Here is some updated info for this set.

It has the Crown emblem incorporated into the signature on the earrings and here is what Ebay Trifari Info page has to say about the dating of the set :

http://reviews.ebay.com/Collectible-Trifari-Jewelry-Identification-and-Marks_W0QQugidZ10000000015368028

The Trifari Crown Symbol
Trifari used a Crown Symbol over the "T" as a type of logo. It appeared on boxes, tags, and cards and was stamped onto most of the pieces produced from the 1940's through the 1960's. Usually all pieces of a set included the crown, with the exception of necklaces with hook clasps - often there was only room for the name "Trifari" on the hook. When sellers identify a pieces a "Crown Trifari" it means the piece was stamped with this symbol

Trifari PAT. PEND.
This is one of the earliest Trifari marks you will see (there were a couple of earlier signatures, but they are quite rare). Prior to 1955 the U.S. copyright law did not extend protection to jewelry designs, so the major manufacturers, who employed talented jewelry designers, protected their investment with U.S. patents. As soon as a design was completed, it was submitted to the U.S. patent office and a patent was applied for. This process normally took a few months, so the jewelry would be stamped PAT. PEND. to advise that a patent application for the design was filed (Ebay)
