Each star is made with 8 diamonds, 4 of one center, 4 of another with every other diamond inverted. The narrow strips are the same color on each diamond in the star. I've never seen it before but it sure is pretty. And yes, by looking at the third picture I can tell that it IS hand pieced. What a wonderful find!!!
Okay, I was ill and tired last night. 60 degree diamonds will make a 6 point star NOT an 8 as you probably all know and I would have too if I'd been able to think. Sorry.
