Is this D&E?

Reasons I think it might be D&E small skinny navettes, built in pin assembly & style.

 

Reasons I think it might not be are the gold tone color seems off & the style is too simple.

 

I can't find it in my books or on opulant. WDYT?

 

Thanks, Lori

Very pretty piece.  I would vote no on this piece.  The reason is not that it is so simple, D&E made lots of pretty but simple pieces, but it's in the construction.  D&E used cast pieces when it came to the shape of settings your AB stones are in.  Your piece appears to be a chain of cups for the AB stones that has been reinforced.  Let me see if I can find an example of what I mean.

On this piece you can see the cast setting used by D&E with the Montana Blue rhinestones.  This wasn't always done, but it was done enough that I really would expect it on a piece shaped like yours.  JMHO

 

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