Tonight I'm happy to offer, from a recently purchased estate, DeLizza & Elster - Juliana - Vintage, Mid 1960's - Black and White and Charcoal Color - Glass Nugget Beads and Crystals - Carmen Miranda Nugget Bead Design Cluster Motif Brooch.
BOOK PIECE! - EXTREMELY RARE DESIGN & COLOR COMBINATION!
EXCELLENT CONDITION! - NO RESERVE!
This handsome and very impressive brooch dates from the mid 1960's, of
American make and origin, made by DeLizza & Elster - Juliana
fashioned as a large size 2" by 1" brooch set with faceted crystals and applied nugget bead dangles - this design is known as the Juliana 'Carmen Miranda Nugget Bead Brooch' - layered and stacked for a 3-D effect.
The set is done in a series of dazzling and intense light charcoal round and marquise shaped crystals, and black and white glass nugget beads set in gold plated open back setting.
This set, in this design and color variations, can be seen
on page 87 and throughout the Musetti Juliama book - "The Art of Juliana Jewelry".
The brooch is in excellent condition showing normal use or wear, all the original stones, none missing or replaced - there is a small loss to the finish or plating on the back of the brooch, this is minor, does not detract and quite common with Juliana's gold plated pieces.
The set is brooch is not marked but is guaranteed to be DeLizza & Elster - Juliana, and various examples of this design can be seen on the Juliana web sites and in the reference books.
As I usually do I'm offering this item at a LOW opening with NO RESERVE.
