1957 - 58
 Juliana jewelry was a line of jewelry made by a company called De Lizza and Elster. This company was established in 1947 in New York. The owners were William De Lizza and Harold Elster. They produced jewelry together with their sons, Anthony and Frank for many different companies including Coro, Hobe, Carnegie, Lane and many more. They also produced many fabulous lines of their own.
The Juliana jewelry line is most often reported to have been produced by son, Frank De Lizza in 1958 and 1959. It is highly collected and often mis-identified. These pieces were marked only by a paper hang tag which makes a positive identification difficult today. Many collectors have learned to identify with accuracy the identifying characteristics of this line.
Frank De Lizza has been kind enough to provide positive identifications, upon request, from some collector clubs. He has most recently released a book detailing the history of this business. He credits the success of the family business, including the famed Juliana line to a number of family members and talented workers.
