Juliana Enamel Jewelry

Cream and Brown Brooch
Chapter Nine of Mr DeLizza's book Memoirs of a Fashion Jewelry Manufacturer is for the 1971-1973 time period and deals with:  Belt Displays; Plastic Stones; Enamel and Epoxy; Fifth Avenue Boutique.  On page 112 of that chapter Mr DeLizza says: "We hired a new young designer, Alma Davis, to try and breath some new life into a waning business.  She was suppose to be good with enamel and epoxy."  He also talk in other places in that chapter about some of the different enamel, epoxy and painted items they made.

Yellow, Green & Red Heart
There are examples of some of the epoxy, painted and enamel pieces in my book Juliana Jewelry -The Last Generation.  In this blog we will show just a few of these types of pieces that where in Mr DeLizza's Factory Collection.  I am sure there are many more examples that have not been found yet.  Maybe someone reading this will be the first to find more. 

Cream with Rhinestones Flower
These designs shown here and many more can be purchased in my store: https://www.ourvintagerosejewelry.com/shop/MrDeLizza/18.

Jan also included with the jewelry some signed Thank You cards for jewelry purchasers.  These cards are hand signed by Mr DeLizza.  I have a limited amount of them.  For each person that purchases 10 items, or a total purchase value of $400 I will send one of these Thank You notes, while the supply lasts. The items do not have to be purchased all at one time. I will keep track of each persons purchases.  
My next blog will be about Juliana for Bijoux Terner jewelry.  Some of these have never been seen before.  Join my email list in my store for previews of upcoming items.
