Vintage Juliana Jewelry
The De Lizza and Elster Company (D & E) was born in New York City in the year 1947. William De Lizza and Harold Elster produced jewelry together with their sons, Anthony and Frank. The also created jewelry for many different companies including Coro, Hobe, Carnegie, Lane and many more.
One of their most collected lines today is the Juliana jewelry line which was produced in the 60's by son, Frank De Lizza. This jewelry was named after his mother.
Although there is often difficulty in properly identifying Juliana jewelry, there is no question to it's beauty. These pieces were marked only by a paper hang tag which makes a positive identification very difficult today. Many collectors have learned to identify with accuracy the identifying characteristics of this line.
Frank De Lizza has been very helpful in recent years by being kind enough to provide positive identifications upon request from collector clubs. He has most recently released a book detailing the history of this company as well as information for identification purposes.
