Welcome to the World of Juliana Jewelry
Juliana vintage jewelry, or The Juliana Collection, was created by Jewelry Manufacturer DeLizza & Elster. Because Juliana Jewelry is unsigned, there is often a lot of confusion about identifying pieces that may or may not be genuine Juliana.
A government treasury expert was once asked how he obtained his remarkable skill to identify fake bills. "Do you spend a lot of time studying forged bills to be able to detect them?" He replied, "Not at all. I study the real thing, and that allows me to spot the forgeries when I see them."
This lens provides you with the opportunity to view Juliana jewelry in all its splendor! The more familiar you become with authentic Juliana pieces, the more knowledgeable you will be when you see pieces.
How to Identify Genuine Juliana Jewelry
Manufacturing Traits of D&E and Juliana
If you come across jewelry for sale and the sale listing claims it is Juliana, there should be a picture of the back of the piece. Examining the back of a piece of jewelry is the only way to see the manufacturing traits. Without this crucial information you have nothing to go on, since Juliana jewelry was not signed.Most Juliana jewelry will have some of these traits - the more you find, the better the liklihood of it being genuine Juliana:
1) Juliana is very "Glitzy"
2) Juliana pieces have dimension, they are not flat
3) A mixture of open and closed back stones
4) "Figure 8" puddling of solder joints
5) Wire over rhinestone to create a "floating stone" effect
6) Built in pin backs
7) Rivets (also called eyelets)
