Found this beauty in a Hollywood, FL thrift store around 1985. It was perfect but I've worn it on my vintage jackets since then 2 large rhinestones have fallen out. I think I still have them in my quilted hosiery boxes. Pronged brooch measures 3.5" x 1.75". Hard to see mark on silver base metal back signed either DENNIO or PENNIO - it's pretty scruffed up.
This is such a lovely mix of colors and has been enjoyed greatly so please forgive current condition!
The 3rd picture shows a Chanel homage of clear rhinestone stars 1.25"- and 1". Picture isn't very good. 3 star pins are really special and the jacket has beautiful curved binding at hem as well as on the shawl collar.
If anyone has more info or comments please do so because I'm not sure of the maker on large brooch. Thanks!

Pennino.
Thank you nldionne and mustangtony for your love. Thank you davyd286. I researched it and yes, it's Pennino - 1940's rhodium plated fur clip. Thanks again!
davyd286 - thanks again for the source MrStones. I checked this out for another vintage item missing stones and ordered some for repair. Will post it once I repair. They didn't have the right colors for above missing stones and hope I can find those here in my magnificent obsession (or tornado - better description).
You're welcome, and get on their mailing list - they'll notify you when they get new stones.
Thank you bratjdd and AR8jason for your love.
