[QUOTE="Lizzie, post: 4519700, member: 2027"]Sorry to be so belated in responding to the two threads I posted, yesterday was a crazy day. I just wanted to thank everyone for their input on this set. KSW-thank you for the lead on Schreiner. I researched the attributes of Schreiner pieces and while these have some elements (like the dog tooth settings) seen in Schreiner, they don't quite make it. For instance, Schreiner used an actual "hook and eye" connection not the double ring construction that is on the back of my brooch. I thought the flower shaped "cups" holding the outer rhinestones were quite distinctive on the brooch and tried to chase that feature down but had no luck. OBB-I think your suggestion that it could be European is really valid. Could be Czech as they made pieces with construction similar to Schreiner so I am leaning towards a European origin. Again, a big thank you to all for your time and suggestions.[/QUOTE]
