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.

Juliana Style AB Rhinestone Brooch
This vintage brooch is loaded with some of the most brilliant AB Aurora Borealis rhinestone we've ever seen. 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. Very Good condition, with minor scratches seen only under magnification. This 2 7/8" brooch is a super sparkling unsigned Juliana-style jewel! $45

Razzle Dazzle AB Rhinestone Floral Brooch Springtime is coming and you're happy as can be. Let everyone smile when they see you in this razzle dazzle Aurora beauty. Could be Juliana, it has some of the characteristic, but it's still in the files at the DeLizza and Elster jewelry education site waiting for possible verification. Meantime, these 3-d stacked loops of yellow and crystal AB rhinestones can flash their pink, green and blue for you. The petals of this 2 1/8" brooch rise about 1/3" from the surface for that look of plenty. Excellent condition. $48

Kramer Silky Pink Moonglow Bracelet and Earrings Set The pink color of the moonglow ovals is a bit more subdued than the pictures show,. Rather, the glowing pieces are a lovely swirl shell pink and would look great with a new manicure or nothing at all but clean hands and a smile. Set in silvertone, this well made set includes matching earrings with double moonglow ovals and clip backs. The bracelet clasps at 7 1/4" with a fold over clasp, and the earrings are fairly large at 1 3/8". All pieces are signed (c)Kramer. Everything is in Excellent condition. $45

Limoges Hand Painted Porcelain Roses Floral Brooch It would be hard to find another Limoges brooch like this one, which is all enamel and hand painted, with no transfer. I have looked very closely, and even the green leaves have raised paints. The flower portrait, with a background of pink glazes and red scalloped border, appears to be a wild rose surrounded by multicolored daisies and forget-me-nots with raised white dots on all. The porcelain oval is bezel set into the standard 1940s brass twisted rope frame and fastened with a trombone clasp. The brooch is 2 1/4" tall x 1 3/4" wide. Very Good+ condition. Marked in red letters on the back, Made in France, Limoges. $58

Limoges Hand Painted on Transfer Porcelain Venus and Cupid Brooch. These kinds of pins are late 1940s French imports of porcelain creations, and such imports helped them rebuild after WWII. I just couldn't resist this colorful delight! Can you? The scene shows Venus holding an arrow away from a naughty Cupid. They are under a blue sky with cloudy wisps. It's hard to tell with this how much is transfer, but there is definite hand painting on the grass and flowers. The setting and open trombone clasp are European, the kind I've seen on other Limoges pins. The golden rope-twist frame supports the brass bezel which secures the porcelain very snugly. Brooch measures 2 1/4" in tall x 13/4" wide and is signed in back in green ink Limoges France. Condition of the porcelain is Excellent with no paint loss or fading. The brass setting is very good, with a bit of light tarnish spots that only add to the vintage value. $68

Fabulous
Sterling Silver L.S. Co. Retro Brooch
Not good pictures (there is no green on any of the metal). But still, this brooch is a scarce and wondrous design, back from the times when the art deco linear design lines were evolving into the spare nosegays of retro modern. In most of these old pins, like this one, the prong set stones are unfoiled and absolutely brilliant. In this one, the stones are peridot green. Only the open buds and their stems have vermeil coating; this is deliberate to the design, since gold and silver together in one jewel has been stylish off and on through the years. The brooch is a big one at 3" x 2 7/8". Signed on the diamond-shaped plaque, L.S. Co. 1/20 12K GF Sterling Silver. Very Good condition, with bits of tarnish here and there. $68
