This brooch is either in a feather or leaf design with complimentary earrings. Marquise cut stones in pink, purple, olive green and black are set in bright gold toned metal. Chaton cut stones in olive green, shocking pink and amethyst colors with one teeny tiny black stone at the top. These stone are prong set on a separate piece of metal that is riveted to the stem on the reverse of the pin. This creates a three dimensional effect.
D&E Characteristics
Marquise cut stones (except for the black ones) are unfoiled and are in open backed settings, allowing the light to pour through the stones. The riveted piece is another tell tale sign.
I have always loved large and unusual rhinestone jewelry. In the ten years I have been buying and selling vintage costume jewelry for a living, I have not discriminated based on whether pieces are designer signed or unmarked. This proved a wise position as Juliana style jewelry has been discovered. Everyday I find more of my pieces have been confirmed as being made by Delizza and Elster.
