Juliana D & E Hinged Bracelet & Pin/Pendant, Amber, Golden AB

Jewelry : Vintage : Juliana Style : De Lizza & Elster

 

This is a great set, if you really like Juliana, but perhaps find some of the pieces a bit too massive! It has lots of sparkle and colour, and is still a big chunky set – but a little more restrained than some Juliana. The rhinestones are topaz, bright tangerine orange, orange aurora borealis, and there are also skinny topaz navettes in two sizes. All the stones are prong-set. The hinged bracelet has the familiar etched band, and is about 6 ½ inches inner circumference – it will fit an average sized wrist. The decorated section extends 4 inches around the bracelet and is about an inch wide. The brooch, which can also be worn as a pendant and comes with its original chain, is 2 ½ inches long; the chain is 23 ½ inches long. This set is not signed, as Juliana jewellery (made by De Lizza & Elster) was marked only with a paper hang tag. There is a small area on the chain, where two or three links are slightly discoloured; other than that, this set is in excellent condition with all stones original and sparkling and no wear to the gold plating.

This bracelet features the embossed filigree design with side-hinged clasp, discussed on p.20 of 'The art of Juliana jewelry' by Katerina Musetti.
