I cannot wait for summer!
Last week I found this bracelet. I loved the quality. I don’t usually wear clip-on earrings but decided to buy them, too. I am not 100% sure but I believe the bracelet and earrings are by D&E/Juliana. Both pieces are in excellent condition. There is the tiniest sign of wear on some of the metal parts of the bracelet. Other than that it is really beautiful.
I am so looking forward to show it off in the summer!
Thanks for looking:)
Thanks, aghcollect:)

Thank you, walksoftly:)
They are Juliana.... Congrats... Gorgeous piece... I'll look in my Juliana book to see if I can find these specific ones...
DrFluffy, it would be great if you could see if it is in the book. I was going to get one book on Juliana but to my surprise the hard copy was very expensive, while the digital one was well priced. My husband was going to buy me an I Pad but I didn't want one. Now I regret saying no but I am too stubborn to admit that I was wrong. One of my daughters is going to get me her old e-reader and then I will get a digital copy instead. I was resisting modern technology but I think it has come to the point where even I have to learn:)
Also many thanks to vetraio50, AmberRose, and mikelv85:)
I got the electronic copy as well... The book is way too expensive... The only problem with my ipad copy is that you can't sort by design... You just have to keep turning pages!!!
I prefer books because I am a visual type. I put sticky notes in and even remember where on a page something is. My brain does not like electronics:( but I guess it's time to switch.
I am still looking thru the pages... The electronic version really is not user friendly in that you have to go thru all the pages and there is a lag... I will keep looking...
Thanks so much, DrFluffy. I really appreciate it:)
Could we please see the back side?
Davyd286, I posted two photos of the back. I am sorry about the bad pics:(
It is a very lovely example of DeLizza & Elster, aka Juliana. If the bracelet does not have a safety chain, that typically means it is a much earlier piece.
If you have regular internet access, I would also suggest the D&E Education site, There is an extensive archive of verified sets and pieces to help identify.
You can also pick up another book, the Art of Juliana Jewelry, used I got it for under $50. And, yes, I am also working on getting the Ann Pitman book.
Lovely find!
!Thanks so much for your comments and help. I do have Internet and will check out the site. By the way, I like your username!
Thanks so much everybody:

I like the stones very much which reminds me of the mint candies. It does look like a Juliana bracelet. I have several books on Sherman but none of Juliana.
Thanks so much for your comment, bladerunner22. I have started to build up a small collection of books on antiques and jewelry, however, I find it rather hard to get good books because they are not in the book stores, on line one cannot always really see what they are about, and if I think they are good, they cost a small fortune. But knowledge is valuable - so I guess if I want to get serious about collecting I will have to make an investment in some of those books:)
I could get you in touch with the author and she sells her wonderful book for about 30-35 most for a book. It is hardcover and worth every penny. I learn every day from it although I do buy a lot in the meantime, but find myself always going back to the book. Sandra is a gem. My address on my page.
She also sells signed copies btw.
This is beautiful! The reverse is almost identical to the bracelet I posted a few days ago -- can anyone have a look and advise? I think mine is Juliana, just need a little help from the CW experts, thanks!
