Doreen Ryan Jewelry

After Mr DeLizza closed his factory he wanted to use his expertise to work for other designers.  So he started working with Doreen Ryan.  He says in his book on page 156-157. "For my next venture I adopted another manufacturer and put some of my expertise to work for her, and work it did.  She was a wonderful young lady, Doreen Ryan. With my help she went from being a small-time maker to being a major supplier of belts and jewelry to the industry.  I was very happy for her, and for a couple of years it went very well, but eventually it was too much for her."

These pieces are ones that were designed and manufactured by her company and these were probably given to Mr DeLizza as examples of the designs

they worked on together.

More photos of these items and all the pieces from Mr DeLizza's collection have been loaded into an image event album. Mr DeLizza's Collection.

All of the D&E from Mr DeLizza's collection will also be loaded into the: IsItJulianaJewelry database over the next few months. http://isitjulianajewelry.com/

Next weeks blog will be about the D&E pieces that Mr DeLizza had reproduced around 2007-08.  He had a company remake some of the clear rhinestone

brooches and earrings from the original design sketches.  He sold them on line through his own web site as well as selling them at the Juliana Conference held in Tampa Florida in 2008.
