Mr DeLizza Commissioned Reproductions

In the mid 2000's Cheryl Killmer discovered the connection between the Juliana tag and DeLizza & Elster Corp.  During this same time a fast growing interest in purchasing and collecting D&E jewelry developed. In response, Mr. DeLizza commissioned to have some of their original pieces reproduced.  These are some of the pieces he sold directly to meet that demand and had them available at the 2008 D&E Convention in Tampa.

Some of you are now probably thinking, well how can I tell the reproduction pieces from the original pieces.  Good news on that front.  While the overall design "look" is the same as the originals the

Twisted Wire

construction details are not the same.  You will not see figure 8's. My training file on figure 8's can be found here: https://imageevent.com/kjwshopping/detrainingalbums/figure8training  The cup settings are slightly different.  The wire overs are done with twisted wire.  The pin backs lack the pin stop used in most D&E designs.  My training album on pin backs can be found here: https://imageevent.com/kjwshopping/detrainingalbums/depinstop

 The bracelets are done with the linkage at the back. They also have a push in clasp.  My D&E bracelet training can be found here: https://imageevent.com/kjwshopping/detrainingalbums/bracelettrainings/noamnotade5link

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.
