The figure illustrates a piece of jewellery, produced by this artisan, whose vertices $A$, $B$, $C$ and $D$ correspond to the positions occupied by the stones.
Based on the information provided, how many different pieces of jewellery, in this format, can the artisan obtain?
(A) 6 (B) 12 (C) 18 (D) 24 (E) 36
