A Breath of Summer in the Gray of Winter Juliana Classic Watermelon Bracelet

Jewelry : Vintage : Juliana, Delizza & Elster, D&E : Bracelet

 

I don't think there's anything to say about this bracelet that we all don't already know. This is one of the Big Daddies of Juliana Jewelry – THE Watermelon Bracelet. The bright, bold colorful watermelon ovals burst with fuchsia, green, blue, purple and hints of yellow and orange. They are accented by open back navette rhinestones of green, blue and purple and fuchsia, crystal and sapphire aurora borealis chatons complete the look. This piece is a work of art and rightfully deserves its place as one of the most highly sought after Juliana bracelets. It is 7 ½” around and 1 5/8” wide.

The plating is gold tone and looks virtually unused. The rhinestones are all in excellent condition with no dead, dull or damaged stones. The watermelon stones show no sign of foil deterioration and burst with color. They are some of the most colorful watermelon's I've had cross my desk. I can see no missing prongs. It is a beautiful piece and one I become more and more fond of each time I’m lucky enough to acquire it.

This piece is the classic Juliana five link bracelet with the decorated connectors. It also has shiny gold plating, heavy solders and open back navettes all consistent with DeLizza & Elster jewelry. It is pictured on page 161 of The Art of Juliana Jewelry.

The equivalent Swarovski rhinestone colors are fuchsia, green tourmaline, Montana, amethyst, crystal aurora borealis, sapphire aurora borealis and vitrail medium.
