D&E, Juliana & Juliana Style Jewelry~ Juliana jewelry was originally made by DeLizza & Elster, who created rhinestone jewelry that was never signed but was marketed with paper hang tags, which, of course, are removed before wear. Because of that, it's not accurate to proclaim true DeLizza and Elster without clear knowledge of the characteristics of the jewelry (and there are plenty of exceptions to the rules,) and/or confirmation from Frank DeLizza. Some of the jewelry in this category has been confirmed by Mr. DeLizza.

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. 

We also offer Sarah Coventry jewelry made by D&E

Such a beautiful and unusual brooch; I wonder if anyone else has seen this design. I thought it was D&E; having a variety of stone shapes, eyelets, and what I thought were figure 8s. But after a very close look under magnification, I'm not sure. It's sparkling and clean looking, with two layers of prong set keystones for the stem and an arrangement of teardrops and chatons to make a spiky flower. The brooch is 2 1/2" tall and dome shaped, rising from the pinstem at least 1/2". Excellent condition. $45

The brooch is 4" long, 1/7/8" wide, and dome shaped, rising 7/8" from the pinstem! Very good condition. $65
