Notice this one and the next one are a pear shaped support ring and the ring has ridges in it.
This is a last gen item and the next that has the same support ring is not, so the use of support rings is the same in last gen and in the earlier designs.

NOT D&E
You are probably saying, what. This is not D&E. No it is not. Some company took great pains to make something that would look very very similar to D&E. On thing that helps to say no is as far as we know D&E never used those gold navettes with the rhinestone in them that were used for the eyes of this cat.
