We carry other colorful rhinestone jewelry in this category which is clearly described as "not Juliana" because Mr. DeLizza confirmed it as NOT D&E, and other jewelry will be described as "Juliana style" which means, it looks like it could be, but I haven't had the piece verified yet. Good news! There's a new verification site where it's easy to get your Juliana verified if it hasn't been already. Please write for detail.

This glorious brooch is stacked like an icy mountain with all ice blue prong set chatons and navettes; the table of the top dogtooth-set stone rises a full inch from the pinstem. Layers of chatons arranged into flowerets spill from the next tiers, playing off light, followed by stones in a kind of whirl arrangement.

Chunky Black Beauty Rhinestone & Aurora Borealis Brooch With golden leaves overlay. This brooch is not D&E, but I've also seen Weiss jewels with these exact leaves. Big black prong set teardrops and navettes, partially hidden by the golden textured leaves, are accented by Aurora Borealis AB chatons. The 2 3/8” x 1 7/8” jewel looks larger because it rises in a dome shape about 3/4" from the pinstem. In fact, there's enough room to easily use this beauty as a necklace enhancer, adding pizzazz to that string of beads. All stones are sparkling, Excellent condition Designer quality for the price of an unsigned beauty! $48

Limoges Hand Painted Porcelain Roses Floral Brooch It would be hard to find anotherLimoges brooch like this one, which is all enamel and hand painted, with no transfer. I have looked very closely, and even the green leaves have raised paints. The flower portrait, with a background of pink glazes and red scalloped border, appears to be a wild rose surrounded by multicolored daisies and forget-me-nots and raised white dots on all. The porcelain oval is bezel set into the standard 1940s brass twisted rope frame and fastened with a trombone clasp. The brooch is 2 1/4" tall x 1 3/4" wide. Very Good+ condition.Marked in red letters on the back, Made in France, Limoges. $68 |

Limoges Hand Painted on Transfer Porcelain Venus and Cupid Brooch. These kinds of pins are late 1940s French imports of porcelain creations helped them rebuild after WWII. I just couldn't resist this colorful delight! Can you? The scene shows Venus holding an arrow away from a naughty Cupid. They are under a blue sky with cloudy wisps. It's hard to tell with this how much is transfer, but there is definite hand painting on the grass and flowers. The setting and open trombone clasp are European, the kind I've seen on other Limoges pins. The golden rope-twist frame supports the brass bezel which secures the porcelain very snugly. Brooch measures 2 1/4" in tall x 13/4" wide and is signed in back in green ink Limoges France. Condition of the porcelain is Excellent with no paint loss or fading. The brass setting is very good, with a bit of light tarnish spots that only add to the vintage value. $78

Nemo Multicolor Rhinestone Screw-On Earrings Here's a darling pair of Nemo earrings, probably from the early 1950s, when the multicolor rhinestones of the '30s saw a brief fad. The floral earrings have aqua chatons in petaled cups in the center, with more gold tone petals surrounding, where more rhinestones are installed in little cups--rose, amethyst, topaz and medium sapphire blue. Diminutive at a bit less than 7/8", the screw on findings are marked NEMO. Very Good condition. $18. |

L.S. Co. Sterling Vermeil Pearl Posy Brooch
Someone took their time in this highly creative design. The bunch of leaves and flowers offer the streamlined loops and spareness of retro moderne, but still have the linear quality of Art Deco. See how the leaves and and bud stand up nearly straight, then droop in a graceful line. Though one flower is centered with prong set blue and crystal rhinestones, the smaller flowers nest genuine pearls, which are often found in these old sterling brooches by L.S., which stand for Louis Stern. The stately yet dear jewel is fashioned in thick, heavy sterling and is 4" tall. What a dramatic look for gem colored or black evening wear! The vermeil coating is thinning evenly, and is not markedly worn.The back is marked, in a diamond shaped plaque, L.S. Co 1/20 12K on Sterling. Excellent condition. An heirloom L.S. Co. 1940s Sterling Posy! $78 |

Wild L.S. Co. 1940s Retro Sterling Vermeil Brooch These L.S. big brooches are getting very scarce; I haven't been able to find one in awhile now. This wonderful retro modern floral brooch is fashioned most gracefully in thick sterling with gold-filled plating with the leaves pointing every which way as if swayed and bandied in a tropical storm, making the brooch an exciting study in artistic movement. Little scalloped cups contain prong set faux pearls. The large flower has a ring of prong set unfoiled prong set clear stones with an unfoiled green stone in the center. Dimensions are 3 1/2" tall x 2 5/8" wide. Under magnification, the green stone has a tiny chip just beneath a prong. Very little of the vermeil is worn away. Condition is rated Very Good and priced accordingly. Marked in back in a diamond shaped plate, L.S. CO, 1/20- 12K G.F., ON STERLING. A beautiful, substantial and elegant jewel! $58 |
