D&E or D&E wanna be

[mimiwells]

Okay I think it has all the attributes of a D& E brooch, but I have yet to find one.  The green stones are watermelon and gorgeous up close and personal.  It is 2" across  your thoughts would be appreciated.

First of all, wow at the colors - it is very pretty - I suppose my question is, did D & E glue-in stones? It loks like the stones around the perimeter are glued, not prong-set. It has been a while since I have had any D & E, not being that much into rhinestone jewelry.

Either way, the colors are fascinating!

From the coloring on the front I would say yes.

BUT the backside I would say no.

I am by far no expert so please wait for others.

The back appears to be a bit sloppy sorry it's the only word I could come up with.

BUT then again I am usually wrong

There is no figure 8 puddling and also no open back stones.

Well now you have the extent of my D&E knowlege! 

Again I enlarged the photos, so my sorry old eyes could see the pics better.

BTW this is an amazing piece, whoever made it!

Thank you again.  The watermelon rivoli stones are great close up and personal, not sure I like the orangish colored stones...it is a bright that is for sure. 

Hoping to list it later tonight, so  if I titled it

Vintage  rivoli watermelon and orange navette rhinestone brooch

Any other KW I can use....

Looks like 2 of the glued in stones are missing.

Thank you I have revised my listing and re-louped the piece again.  There are actually three small stones on the outside rim that are missing.

Your Welcome. I tend to overlook missing stones myself at times especially if I am excited abouy a piece. It sure is lovely!
