From the Vault: Dangle Drama at Its Finest.
This spectacular mid-century brooch by DeLizza & Elster (Juliana) is a verified and highly coveted book design, celebrated for its bold composition and luxurious movement. A shimmering cluster of luminous green cabochons is framed by vivid pink-purple chatons and clear accents, leading the eye to a single striking clear navette that anchors the design.
Suspended from a sculptural heart-shaped connector, the gold-tone chain tassel delivers dramatic motion and elegant fluidity — one of the most beloved hallmarks of collectible Juliana dangle brooches.
A documented Juliana reference piece (Ref. #5617), preserved in exceptional condition and held in the Private Collection of Betty Lily & Co. Only the most distinctive creations earn a place in the vault.
