group of vintage pins, unmarked

Good Morning! If you could take a look at these and rate them best to last in terms of interest, none are marked, the elongated diamond shaped brooch actually has very light yellow/canary stones rather than the clear like the rest, and the rectangular is far, far more showy than the photo picks up, thousands of tiny faceted stones. The (1) large round is 3 1/2"..(2) diamond shape 3 1/2"....(3) smaller round 2"......(4) rectangle 3"....Thank You for looking, V76IMG_6129.JPGIMG_6134.JPGIMG_6144.JPGIMG_6139.JPGIMG_6141.JPGIMG_6136.JPGIMG_6142.JPG

All are pretty  I think the rectamgle and tne diamond are older than the others an may be pot metal.  In terms of personal preference, I would say #3, #2, #1 and #4, but all have strong points.  The multi rivets on the back is often  a characterstic of Beau Jewels, but the back doesn't look quite right to me for that.  Prong set rhinestones are always ood.

Sorry - wrong numbers.  My favorite is rectangular piece, then diamond, then round one with the rivets, then smaller round one.

Thank you! and sorry for the tangle of photos, posting pics has become hit and miss lately, they get all out of order, your input is once again appreciated, this has been such a learning experience, I hope at one point I will be able to actually contribute to a conversation, not just be the beneficiary of all of your collective knowledge!

the yellowing of the stones is probably due to age.  Glue can yellow over time.  The third one is probably best in terms of quality. all prong set and first thing that came to my mind was Weiss in terms of maker.  But I agree wiht the feline in that my fave is the last piece, which is probably oldest and in the best condition.  I was actually surprised when I read your first post saying #3 was your fave! We usually have such identical tastes lol!

One thing - you might want to take an old, soft toothbrush to the third pin. It appears its former owner wore it with a fuzzy sweater!
