Large Rhinestone Brooch Dog Tooth? Prongs Unsigned -Who Made Me?

Hi Everyone
I'm trying to clear out some of my collection(HOARD) and came across this brooch. It's over 2 inches in size and seems to be well made. Are those center prongs called Dog Tooth prongs? Does the construction look to be any designer or is this just an unsigned beauty?
Thank you.

I thought I uploaded photos. I'm having such a hard time uploading them.

 

I can't help but not to worry. Someone who can will be along soon.

Thank you Debora!

 

First, are you on computer or phone, and are your images UNDER 1 MB???

Try emailing them to yourself as "medium" size, they should then be under 1 MB!

Each image MUST be UNDER 1 MB....
There are instructions on site here on how to reduce the size of your image, if that is the problem......you are allowed up to 10 images per post!!! Here are some links to the instructions:

If on an iPhone:

As an added note, when you have your photos LISTED, BEFORE you hit POST,
please click on the wording that says to "POST EVERY IMAGE FULL SIZE" !! That way, we're not clicking on little thumbnails, but get to see all of the images full sized!! Thanks!

AND if you're STILL having trouble, ASK AGAIN....we'll help you figure it out!!!

 

I'm on my computer and when I try to upload photos I get an error code.

 

They're probably too big. I run a little piece of software called Irfanview that allows me to resize easily.

 

Thank you! I will look into that. I think you're right. The photos might be too big.

 

Thank you for that info Aquitaine. Will do!

 

I think I did it.

 

It’s very Juliana’ish. Have you looked through isitjuliana.com?

 

The V-shaped harp and close large closed stones say more Austria than D&E, and the back looks too neat.

 

This says unsigned Schreiner so worth asking on their FB page or Schreinery.com as they have loads of examples. Im never sure about the unsigned malarkey though.

 

Same metal frame, but I never trust unsigned anything either. There's a whole Schreiner thread on the old eBay Jewelry Board Group and you might get lucky.

 

Thank you everyone. I’ll check the Schreiner board. I packed all my jewelry books away when we moved so I’m not able to access them.
I’ve never heard of the Schreiner board! I’ll check that out too.

 

I'm no help but I wanted to say it's a lovely brooch.

 

Thank you Mirana. I decided to go through all the jewelry that has accumulated or should I say that I have hoarded over the years and clear it out. I feel like it's my very own treasure hunt.

 

Hah! You are now shopping your own collection and seeing old friends. I know the feeling. I try to remember that I had great fun collecting and enjoying them and now they will be a new find for someone else to have that thrill. It also means my collection becomes my very best, most loved treasures. I hope it's not too arduous!

 

Definitely a cut above on that brooch! I have to say my first thought was, "Wow almost looks like it could be Schreiner."

Worth figuring out, as would add a lot of value, the one KSW posted they are asking $1,200. Not sold at $1,200, but even if it was a fraction of that would be worth some time researching if it could be Schreiner.

As Evelyb30 said the Ebay Jewelry Boards do have some good Schreiner info, you could post there.

 

Yes it has been a treasure hunt for sure. I had forgotten most of what I had. Lots of work but fun too.

I never thought Schreiner. I did post on the jewelry board on Ebay but I don't think anyone responded. It's been so long since I posted there. I wonder if I'm in the right section.
