<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 839661, member: 649&quot;]The only way I can differentiate a D&amp;E piece from any other quality rhinestone piece is that D&amp;E has the &quot;figure 8 puddling&quot;... but your piece doesn&#039;t have any round-set rhinestones so that identifier isn&#039;t applicable. From what I&#039;ve read, D&amp;E <i>did </i>sometimes use rhinestone chains within brooches, which it appears yours <i>does</i> have (though the source stated that the chains were &quot;mostly&quot; used in the flower brooches as stems).</p><p>There are a lot of quality rhinestone pieces from that era that are <i>not </i>D&amp;E, though they are made just as well and with many of the same techniques. I think, sometimes, one will never know for sure.</p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/cranberrymanor/Blog/Fig8Back.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
