Any Ideas On This Lovely Brooch?

It`s 2".    Unique design the way the clusters of 5 marquis wire over to the front from the back (clear as mud..right?)  

 

Any ideas on origin? I`m getting a West Germany or Austria vibe, but alas, no marking.

 

Not quite sure how to descripe the larger pear shaped..all I can think of is a soft, muted Sabrina? That correct?

 

Thank ya!

On my monitor they almost look like a frosted muted mint green.

Very pretty !

The first thing I thought of was D&E with the wire overs, the reforcement ring and the way the center marquise are set...side ways.  But I can't recall seeing one like this.  My guess would be Austrian, but I think I would ask Paula to take a look see, if it were mine.

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

Hadn`t even thought of D&E as a possibility..I`ll do research that direction before I ask about contacting Paula

 

Thank ya

I didn't see it on the D&E Ed. Site. I checked Brooches & Sets.

 

Oh, that's a beautiful brooch

Frosted bicolor?
Lovely, whoever it's daddy is.
Didn't Schreiner do the circle back thing? (Yeah, I should research before asking, but I'm in a lazy mood)

Are the pear shaped beads glass? When I use to make lampwork beads, I would "etch" them in acid to get that matte look. Grinding afterwards would give that clear window affect. (This counts as my sole contribution to this board, lol, otherwise I'm an "asker"!)

Yepper, all the stones are glass.  

 

Have tried to position a shot of the large pears..so you can see how the table is 'shiny' vs the matte on the  edges. It`s more of a matte finish than frosted (to my eyes anyway  lol)  or perhaps they are 1 in the same?
