Verified Juliana (DeLizza & Elster) Sapphire & Aurora Borealis Starburst Brooch – Design #1624 | Private Collection

A dramatic verified Juliana starburst brooch secured within my vault. Documented in the Juliana reference archive as design #1624, this layered mid-century statement piece radiates with sapphire blue navettes, luminous aurora borealis rounds, emerald highlights, and soft blue chatons arranged in a high-impact starburst wreath.

Crafted in a heavy silver-tone setting with riveted construction — a key indicator of authentic DeLizza & Elster manufacture — this brooch bursts with dimensional brilliance under every light source.
