Featured Rhinestone Brooches Help

Hi all, I tying to figure out who made these.
Any information is appreciated.
thanks for looking
Sizes range from 3" x 2 3/4" for #9 down to 1" for #11. Ignore #11 is Richelieu and #13 is Florenza, I didn't realize they were stamped/marked.
#3 is the only one that has a pin stop so I thought maybe D&E but didn't find it. Similar, but no exact match.
#6 is black on the back - Japanned?
#9 reacts to a black light, the faux pearls look very weird under it - they look flat on top, not sure what is up with that.
#8 I thought would be Sherman, but not finding it so I don't know who made it.

 

wowie, those are simply stunning.

 

That leaf you thought was D&E sure looks like D&E to me! The one in the lower left is Austrian. 5 is by a jobber who did work for Weiss, but don't ask me who it was. That big one is..somebody.

 

You are reawakening my brooch hunger !

 

thanks pearls

thanks evelyb30 I'm going to ask on the D&E group about the leaf #3 brooch. I found another one (Etsy listing) saying it is D&E but will see what FB says.
Also found #9 in an Etsy listing saying it is a confirmed D&E, but no book reference. That one I don't think is, there is no pin stop, will keep searching.
Will see what I can find on #5.
here is the Etsy listing for #9 - the faux pearls look nicer than on mine and I like the price they are asking

I forgot to add a close-up of a couple

 

3 definitely looks like D&E. 9 wants to be too but the pin & clasp is wrong I think.

 

All of these are pretty fantastic! #4 and 9... just amazing. If you sell #9, I would play up the size of it which really sets it apart.

No idea who made #4, but has to be a some designer. Construction is beautiful.

Not sure whether to call #6 japanned. It does seem to be a darker metal, but I usually think of japanned as pretty much a solid black look.

The Florenza piece has those cool black almost mirror-like stones. I've seen some sellers describe a mix like this as "fruit salad", but maybe that is more often used with more yellows/oranges etc. It's a nice piece and great it is signed.

What a feast for the eyes. I'm sure you will do well with these.

 

An amazing collection!
I can't help much in ID, though, to me they all look Czech...

 

thanks KSW I agree with you on #9, but will ask on FB and update this thread

thanks Lucille
I found a similar Florenza that sold on RL, (sold price no longer shows), they called it molded glass and Baby Tooth pearl brooch - I had to laugh at 'baby tooth' I'll post the link at the bottom of this post

#6 is a gun-metal gray/black, not a black black, so not Japanned then
