| Juliana Faux Sapphires, Faux Pearls & Crystal Encrusted
Bracelet & Earrings Set
NWS 14-926 ~ There is so much going on in this bracelet, it almost defies description! There are 28 large, faux, faceted sapphires; there are 24 large, faceted simulated diamonds, and another 60 smaller simulated diamonds!! ~ On the top layer are 40 dangling, faux pearls that move with every turn of the wrist; all this jam-packed into 7.25" should give you a pretty good idea of the quality and density of crystals and beads in this set, just incredible! ~ The bracelet is made of 5 links (see photo above), which is the famous trademark design style of Juliana; the links and all the metal settings are made of thickly plated, rhodium metal ~ The bracelet measures 7.25" long and 1.5" wide ~ The earrings are made of exactly the same design and measure 1" wide and 1.5" high ~ The glass pearls are a soft, oyster white color, and many of the (about 30%) are scuffed or losing bits of their pearlescent coating; however the glass beneath this coating is practically the same exact color, so it reduces the impact ~ Bracelet has a safety chain for added security ~ Juliana always marked her jewelry with paper tags, most of which have long since disappeared; therefore her jewelry is unsigned, but the characteristics of her designs and the unusual stones she used are so unique that it is easy to spot her creations ~ Featured in the book, Costume Jewelry, The Great Pretenders, by L. Kelley & N. Schiffer, p. 24 c. 1950's Price = $173.00 |
