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.

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

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?
