<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 9777281, member: 51&quot;]Another point, I know China is faking vintage brooches, but didn&#039;t think they are/were faking vintage clip earrings, since few people wear clips anymore, so thinking this set is more likely vintage whether Hattie Carnegie or not.&nbsp; Also, looks like a higher quality costume piece from the photos with that glass work and design.&nbsp; Hattie Carnegie did a ton of jewelry in brushed goldtone and jade colored glass.</p><p><br /></p><p>But other vintage costume makers made goldtone brooches with jade colored glass too, so the question in my mind is whether someone glued the cartouche on vintage piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>Was initially thinking this was likely to be HC, but one clue to maybe suggest that it is <i>not HC</i> is that I think that they signed their clip earrings.&nbsp;&nbsp; I just looked at 7 signed HC demi-parures on Ebay and all the earrings were signed.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t do an exhaustive search, so might be something to look into.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
