This exceptional group of vintage rhinestone/glass brooches is very collectible and even the damaged ones would sell. You have a few D&E/Juliana Pieces that are Very Desirable, and you could really cash in on Ebay! They are Vintage, not copies. Even though they are Unsigned they are Very Good - Great Designer Pieces. An enviable find!
