Welcome to Juliana Jewelry, the site where you can learn how to recognize genuine DeLizza & Elster Jewelry. DeLizza & Elster was a costume jewelry design house that was in business from the late 1940's through the 1980's. Today, their "Juliana" line is a favorite of collectors. The trouble is, the entire line was manufactured and sent to boutiques and department stores with only hang tags to identify the jewelry. It was never signed on the actual jewels. So how can you tell if what you just bought is a true D&E Juliana jewel? And dealers, how can you identify your jewelry so that when you sell Juliana, your buyers can be confident they are getting the real thing? We hope to help you answer those questions. How We Identify DeLizza & Elster Jewelry This site will feature digital images of genuine Juliana jewelry that has been verified by Frank DeLizza, one of the owners of DeLizza & Elster. If anyone with beginning to advanced knowledge of Juliana Jewelry would like to help find already verified pieces in any albums about to be sent to Mr. DeLizza, please write and volunteer for the Advisory Committee. Any dealers or collectors who maintain educational web pages or
albums of verified Juliana jewelry are invited to send links to their albums
or individual images for us to post on these pages. Please be aware that the copyright
to your pictures will still belong to you, and that any pictures will be
removed from this site at your request. In addition you will receive
credit for pictures you allow us to use for educational purposes,
including a link to your website if you have one. We have added additional Tutorial Pages that show illustrations of the characteristics of D&E jewels. These tutorials will enable you to learn easily to recognize a DeLizza & Elster piece. You may also submit images of jewelry you are not sure is DeLizza & Elster, so that these can be verified as Juliana or not Juliana by Mr. DeLizza, who has generously offered to identify any of his jewelry. Any shared albums will have no passwords, no requirements, no deadlines, no rules and no hassles. All we ask is that images be your images and that they be large, clear & complete, showing front and back of all pieces, including all clasps. Submit scans or digital images, front & back of your unverified Juliana jewelry to Toy Nicole Goodwin and Rebecca Fransway at Juliana Jewelry (See this quick Picture Tutorial) Then keep an eye on our verification albums. The images in Album 19 have just been verified by Mr. DeLizza. Album 20 has just been sent to the advisory committee and will be sent out to Mr. Delizza in the next day or two. Any images sent now will be added to Album 21. Not all the pictures are in the album 21, so don't worry if you don't see yours. Wait until we're finished and announce on JR and on here that the album is ready to go to Mr. DeLizza. Disappearing Pictures Sometimes, your pictures may be spotted as jewelry previously identified as D&E by Mr. DeLizza. If so, they may be removed to the Verified D&E albums right away. Also, if the picture you submitted shows a jewel that has been verified as NOT D&E more than once, we may remove it to the NOT D&E folders. Please submit verified pictures or album links to Juliana Jewelry See how others do it: To see pictures that have
