I picked up two pretty sparkly (I love sparkly) peices this weekend, and although they have marks, I can't find any information on either. I'm hoping some of the experts here are able to help.
Thanks for looking.
The first mark isn't fully readable in the photo. The second one has a design number on it which is not traceable to a manufacturer. There are no photos of either on Google Images. Both look like mid-century pieces. Maybe someone will recognize the first brooch mark.
The first mark looks to me like a WD. I guess I've spent too long looking at it because it's all I sre now.
Thanks for looking and your assistance.
I found this jewelry also marked WD:

W&D is Whiting & Davis, but I don't know for certain if that is the maker of your brooch:

The pendant is interesting! The brooch will be perfect for Christmas!
The quality an style of your second brooch looks similar to my brooch:

If it is not by the same maker it might be from the same time period.
The red brooch is trying to be a Mazer or Jomaz pin but I think it's a reproduction /copy.
