Featured Did I find my first D&E brooch/pin?

I've been buying/reselling costume for ages. Basically go on the "looks" of something or signatures, and never got into the D&E identification craze. But you can't help learning some stuff when you are on these boards and when I turned this over at a recent estate sale heard myself ask, "Is this figure 8 puddling?" Thought I'd get it for a learning piece. What do you think?

 

I'm sorry but what is a D&E?
Also i don't see any markings on the back am I missing something?

The settings are very nice

 

D&E was a jewelry maker, never signed their pieces. Has quite the following. Not sure mine is that, let's see what others think.

Gorgeous! Ive got a rust colored shirt that would go splendidly with.

 

Sure looks like! Figure 8s on the back, sloppy solder/puddling and open backs on some of the stones? With orange manganese rhinestones no less. I'd say it's a no-doubter.

 

Sure is pretty. I am learning more stuff here about jewelry. Thanks.

 

Wowzers, figures eights and all!!! Fantastic piece!

 

Well done, @Lucille.b

(three woots!)

 

Actually the pin didn't catch my eye at first, but then turned it over and thought, if anything was ever figure 8 puddling, that has to be it, right?

And the pin is growing on me. Something about finding your first piece of a maker that is special. I still have my first Schreiner set from decades ago (carefully hoarded).

 

Those orange stones will light up like crazy under a blacklight, btw.

 

Oh, I'll have to check that. Thanks!

 

Congrats on your first D&E brooch Lucille, that is a beauty
