Vintage Juliana D&E AB Rhinestone Figure Eight Brooch
This exquisite vintage brooch showcases a vibrant mid-century floral spray design, expertly set with shimmering aurora borealis rhinestones in marquise and round cuts. The stones radiate a kaleidoscope of iridescent colors—violet, aqua, gold, and rose—thanks to their signature AB finish, popularized in the 1950s.
Crafted in silver-tone metal, the piece features a layered, dimensional construction with intricate stone placement. The reverse displays the hallmark figure-8 puddling, a classic structural element associated with Juliana jewelry by DeLizza & Elster (D&E), a renowned American costume jewelry maker active in the 1950s-1960s. While unsigned—as all Juliana pieces were—the brooch is consistent with their high-quality craftsmanship and bold aesthetic.
A standout collector's item, perfect for vintage fashion lovers, formal wear, or bridal styling.
