Juliana ~ Juliana jewelry was originally made by DeLizza & Elster, who created rhinestone jewelry that was never signed but was marketed with paper hang tags, which, of course, are removed before wear.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" becuase Mr. DeLizza
confirmed it as NOT D&E, or 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.

Passionate Pink & Fuchsia
Verified Juliana Rivoli Brooch & Margarita Clip Earrings Gorgeous big pure pink rivoli stones surrounded by clear chatons is what makes up the center of this Juliana brooch, but the two tone pink & frosty lavender navettes is the what makes this creation stand out in bursts of sparkling color. Accented by open back slender fuchsia navettes and chatons, all stones are prong set in a gold tone fitting. With it, I've added a pair of fabulously femme vintage clip earrings of pink margarita stones with rhinestone headpins and accented with clear more clear rhinestones, all prong set in a golden setting. The earrings are not the true mates to the brooch, but the pinks match exactly and both brooch and earrings have been verified as Delizza & Elster by Frank DeLizza. The brooch is 2 7/8" x 2 3/4" and the earrings are 1 1/8". Brooch is Excellent, earrings are Very Good with minor wear on plating. All stones sparkle like crazy! $88

Big De Lizza & Elster Shocking Pink Rhinestone Butterfly I've seen this unsigned beauty immortalized in a book somewhere, but never mind, it's gorgeous, and you'll never need another summertime brooch! Verified by Frank DeLizza as Juliana, this ostentatious butterfly is a double layered blazing confection of two subtly different shades of pink--medium pink and a cooler pink, almost fuchsia, to accentuate the varied patterns of stones. WE have plump navettes in assorted sizes and long thin navettes with various sized chatons, all prong set in very light gold tone plating. Stones are all clear, bright & sparkling; the plating has wear in back, but the wear is not ugly. Measuring 3 1/8" at the upper wing tips and 2 7/8 from top of antennae to lower wing tip, this brooch has good heft and is ready to dress up that jacket or purse with a shocking splash of Pink. Want some extra attention? For the hottest days on the beach, tie a scarf around your bosom and pin it together with this brooch! Guaranteed you'll hardly be able to keep it on! Very Good condition. $78

Emerald Green Long Rhinestone Navette Pin NOT Juliana, but just as pretty as one! A lovely pin to accent the décolletage little black dress, so bewitching with wickedly long, slender navettes. Yet the jewel also yields an aura freshness with the central floret of clear chatons mounted by an emerald green stone. All stones are prong set in a dome-shaped gold tone fitting. Measurements are a bit over 2" wide x 1 1/2. Excellent condition. $38

Multicolor Art Glass & Navette Rhinestone Domed Brooch NOT Juliana but perhaps even more decadent. You aren't really spoiled, but you certainly deserve to be! And here's just the domed, art-stoned jewel to not only delight your sense of luxury, but also to delight his sense of you. The domed jewel is piled high with marquise cut rhinestones, foiled art glass, molded glass, aurora borealis & sparkling confetti stones. All stones are set in either 4-prong or dog tooth prong settings. Accented by chatons in AB peacock, lavender and light topaz, you can hardly see the smooth gold tone finding where the stones bask luxuriously. Dimensions are 2 7/8" long, but the brooch seems much larger because it rises a full inch from the lower surface. You will sparkle every which way in this beauty! Very Good condition, with minor surface wear that can be seen only under 5x magnification. $58

Pretty Little
Juliana Fiery Butterfly Pin & Earrings DeLizza & Elster, verified by Frank DeLizza. The fiery color in this sweet butterfly more than make up for her delicate stature. At 1 7/8" x 1 1/2, she relies on her siam red-hot rhinestone body and siam & topaz navette wings to add a spark to your look without attracting ALL the attention. Matching 5/8" butterfly clip on earrings complete the look of true vintage beauty. Rated Very Good, with uniform darkening at the tips of the outer navettes. $24.95

De Lizza & Elster Juliana Blue Crystal Brooch Set This snazzy vintage set has been verified by Frank DeLizza. It features a brooch shaped like a pair of wings with two layers of long, slender navettes--the top layer is gorgeous sapphire blue laying across a base of fabulous crystals. All the stones except the cluster of brilliant chatons in the middle is prong set open back in a gold tone finding. The 2 1/2" x 2 1/4" Brooch is thick, sitting about 5/8" from it's base, and it is heavy for its size. The matching clip back earrings are 1 7/8" x 1 1/8". Everything is in excellent, clean condition. $88

Kenneth Lane KJL Asian Balinese Dancers Pagoda Necklace Out there is the collector (you?) who has been waiting for just this necklace. Kenneth Lane makes great jewelry, but also, I love pendants like this because of their exotic character and slimming vertical lines. This particular necklace is a 1980's QVC piece. Two gold tone & bejeweled Balinese dancers, a man and a woman, cavort as dangles hanging from the central pendant, a gold tone pagoda delightfully shaped and textured. The faces of the dancers are clear crystal rhinestones, and their clothing is studded with multicolor stones. From the 25" necklace chain, the total pendant drop, including bail, is 6 1/2" and can be detached from the necklace to be worn as a brooch. Signed (c)KJL in two places, on the oval hang tag and on the back of the Pagoda, the necklace is in Excellent condition. $68 |

Kramer Chrome & Lapis Glass 1960's Articulated Pendant Here's a scarce contribution from Kramer to the original swinging 60's, the age of the biggest medallions and enormous articulated pendants. This one seems to have a bit of Asian chic designed into the Pagoda look bars, but also modernistic, with the chrome colored metal and the flat square lapis blue glass cabs. Everything on the pendant is segmented with silvertone chain, the last blue cab dangling like a dancing delight, oh how this will sway as you move. And, of course, go between the breasts, which is always a guarantee that you will drive him wild! The pendant itself is 5 1/2" long and about 2 1/2" wide; the silvertone chain is has an adjustable J-hook, and clasps at a maximum of 23", but you can adjust it easily for size. Signed KRAMER on a raised oval three times on the pendant. This one is not likely to come up again; if you're a collector or lover of period jewelry like this, better buy it now! $88 |

Unsigned Kramer Summer White, Gold & Rhinestones Medallion Bracelet Set This lovely set offers molded glass medallions with recessed floral designs filled with golden enamel and studded with faux diamond rhinestones. Each medallion is prong set in a an openwork coronet setting, and further reinforced by another layer, a silvertone scalloped setting in faux prongs. Each alternating double beaded set is flanked by tiny silvertone flowers--it's hard to see in the picture how intricately this set is made. This is a thick, substantial jewel, heavy for it's size. Bracelet clasps at 7" with a good fold over clasp and measures a bit over 1" wide. The matching earrings are clip on. Although this set is unsigned, I've attributed to Kramer due to a nearly identical set shown in Ann Pitman's Inside the Jewelry Box, page 135. Plus, the identical white faceted glass cabs are used by Kramer in another set shown on the bottom of page 134 page of the same book.Near excellent, with minor wear on back plating that cannot be seen without magnification. $62 |

Pink Aurora AB Crystals Bracelet with Rhinestone Clasp.
First, this bracelet came with a paper hang tag still attached, but in the scans the tag was so distracting that I removed it to take more scans. The tag has been saved and is included with the bracelet. Although all our jewels are guaranteed to be genuine vintage, I will specifically guarantee this is a genuine vintage Laguna bracelet, probably from the 1960's, and it has never been worn, and has been priced as unsigned. The pink 7.5mm light pink transparent glass crystals are coated with a delicate AB finish and separated by tiny clear bicones; the rainbow colors sparkle subtly and add an especially feminine touch to your outfits. It clasps with a 1 5/8" diamante rhinestone clasp at 7 1/4". This beautiful jewel is in Excellent, near MINT condition. $58

Limoges Perfume Bottle Pin A Colonial couple enjoy holding hands in the outdoors in the paint-on-transfer porcelain set within the thick glass bottle. You can see the prongs from the back. Gilded metal partially encases the bottle with exquisite openwork along the sides and around the cap, which sports a bright green rhinestone on the very top. The narrow bar pin holds the bottle by golden chain and is equipped with an open C-clasp. There is no perfume left but the vivid fragrance remains; I almost couldn't part with this because the scent is utterly enchanting. The pin hangs 2 1/8", and the bottle is nearly 1 1/4" from top of lid to bottom. The back of the porcelain is stamped in gold "Made in Limoges France." Condition is Very Good. $65

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! $68 |
