1950s Juliana by DeLizza & Elster Diamond-Shaped Brooch with AB, Pale Pink & Bright Pink Austrian Crystals

A dazzling example of 1950s Juliana jewelry by DeLizza & Elster, this spectacular brooch is designed in a dramatic diamond-shaped silhouette and lavishly embellished with prong-set Austrian crystals. A vibrant combination of shimmering Aurora Borealis (AB), delicate pale pink, and vivid bright pink crystals creates a beautifully layered composition of color and light. Each stone is individually prong-set, allowing the faceted crystals to capture maximum brilliance while giving the brooch the substantial, jewel-like construction for which Juliana pieces are celebrated.

Founded in New York, DeLizza & Elster became one of the most admired manufacturers of American costume jewelry during the mid-20th century. Their celebrated Juliana designs are renowned for extravagant crystal arrangements, dimensional construction, unusual color combinations, and meticulous hand-set stones. The introduction of Aurora Borealis crystal in the mid-1950s, with its distinctive iridescent coating, brought an entirely new dimension to costume jewelry, reflecting flashes of pink, blue, gold, and violet as the stones moved in the light.

Bold, feminine, and unapologetically glamorous, this brooch beautifully captures the artistry associated with collectible Juliana jewelry. The geometric diamond form provides a sophisticated counterpoint to the romantic palette of pale and saturated pinks, while the AB crystals add mesmerizing iridescence. A fabulous statement jewel and a striking addition to any collection of DeLizza & Elster, Juliana, or mid-century Austrian crystal jewelry.
