Juliana Sea Life Jewelry from Mr DeLizza's Collection

Sea Life Caged Rhinestones and Cabochons
The much of the sea life jewelry was all made from the same plastic sea horses, and star fish, along with beads and metal charms.   Another very creative use of these same charms was to frame them with metal so they could be chained end to end.  These designs were done in a ton of colors of which I only have a few.  One of the sea life charm necklace is shown in Mr DeLizza's book Memoirs of a Fashion Jewelry Manufacturer on page 140 and dates them to 1979. Another design they did was to cage rhinestones in sea life castings.  They also did some sea turtle designs with plastic cabochons and heat formed plastic centers.

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 the JudyJudyJudy line which was a line of jewelry named after and designed by his daughter Judy.  Some of these have never been seen before.  Join my email list in my store for previews of upcoming items.
