<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rufus@frockstarvintage, post: 4610584, member: 5939&quot;]Number 1 has some design characteristics that line up with D&amp;E (DeLizza &amp; Elster)</p><p>-unmarked - sold with paper hangtags only, no other marking</p><p>-large vibrant stones in open-back settings</p><p>-distinctive ‘dog tooth’ or ‘pie crust’ prongs </p><p>-xl closed-back chatons (the clear round ones at either end)</p><p>-super long pin stem</p><p>-heavy soldering (collectors call this ‘puddling’ because it’s usually (but not always) literally puddled around settings (see ‘figure 8 puddling’)</p><p>When searching for a match remember these were made in different color combinations. You may ID your amber-colored pin by spotting the same one in blue, red, green, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 2nd pin (pink &amp; clear) might be D&amp;E also, but it’s not ringing that bell as loudly as the amber one…. But as long as you’re looking for one, may as well keep an eye out for it, just in case.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, check the back/pin/hinge of the last (gold) pin for marks. If none, still have it checked for possible gold content.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
