How to find vintage jewelry from D&E and why it’s so worth it

Even though fashion is current, the poison of clothing is more than a decade old. From Art Deco camphor glass to Bakelite, there’s something about vintage jewelry that appeals to women of all ages. And this is especially true for rhinestones.

The clarity they provide is comparable to even the best cut diamonds in the world. If you like this type of fashion jewelry, we’re sure you’ve seen (and loved) this brand of 1940s-1960s fashion jewelry, even if you don’t know the name of this company.
What is the difference between
D&E pieces and other fashion jewellery?
Beginning in the 1960s, Juliana’s jewelry line began to be sold in department stores with glamor and panache for modest women. This was a time when women dressed well to make them look good in most situations. A simple outfit can easily be made suitable for a night out and is now the ultimate fashion accessory.

By today’s standards, the sets offered would be great. A bracelet, earrings, ring and necklace, each filled with colorful rhinestone charms, can be a beautiful combination, but not many women these days wear these pieces at the same time.

The company that made Juliana’s fine pieces was Frank DeLizza and Harold Elster’s factory, which produced various small items such as buttons and buckles. They were also contracted to make jewelry for well-known brands for many years before creating their own brand.

Parts may be difficult to identify as they are marked only with paper markings. But Juliana’s line, also known as D&E for the two men who made the cut, has been around for a few years. The graphics were also different compared to other times. The colors were more saturated than many of the brand’s competitors, and the number of designs they produced in this short time was less. These points can help you determine whether the episode is D&E. There’s also a handy site where you can search by style, color, and even find information about pieces produced by D&E for other companies (like Avon, Weiss, and other brands).

What is its value?
Money can bring high prices to these low figures. Some headphones, though not all popular clip-on types, can sell for a few dollars and go up to $30 on the high side. Many similar parts are normally sold.The greatest value is in new condition as it can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars in good markets. Juliana/D&E collectors will pay more for a piece in good condition than someone who cares little about the makers of the pieces in his collection

It is the only model chain that can be sold at a high price. The Aurora Borealis ‘Easter Egg’ necklace (shown above) was appraised for between $800 and $1,000 on season 18 of Antiques Roadshow. However, the same necklace model sold on eBay for only $267. But as part of the set, the same chain has a price tag of $1,400 on various websites. All this shows that what determines the value of something is how and when you sell it.
