D&E, Juliana & Juliana Style Jewelry~ Juliana jewelry was originally made by DeLizza & Elster, who created rhinestone jewelry that was never signed but was marketed with paper hang tags, which, of course, are removed before wear.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.

Each row offers a different color--the pong set navettes on top flash peacock colors, while the inner rhinestone chain is pale green AB crystal with the outer a pink & purple flasher. Perching on top of the floret is a coronet set blue & yellow AB chaton, surrounded by a ring of regular crystals. Everything is set in a curvy goldtone finding.

Detail

Sparkling Kramer Mink Rhinestone Bracelet

First, the color must be explained, because the scans all picked up different highlights. The oblong stones in this beauty are similar to a golden smoky topaz color, but very, very light and with a touch of pink. In the 1950s this color was called mink. Prong set in gold tone, the stones are quite clear, and have both a transparent and metallic look. They are not AB coated, but are such high quality that the facets flash lavender, gold, and brown and tan alternately, The small stone on the clasp is medium topaz. This Kramer bracelet will add a rich look, just that touch of elegance and taste for so many occasions, from weddings to picnics, from work to a trip to Paris for dinner, you will wear this beauty again and again. The bracelet is 3/8" wide and clasps at just 6 5/8" for a small wrist. The signature is simply Kramer, no copyright mark, on the back of the link next to the push-in clasp. Excellent condition. $58
