Love vintage Juliana jewelry but not the price? This is your chance to buy a lovely 5-link necklace for a fraction of the usual price.
This is a classic 5-link necklace with the floating wire-over rhinestones. Large ruby red stones and smoky gray chatons are all prong set on gold tone metal. The necklace is nearly identical to the one shown on page 23 of the book “The Art of Juliana Jewelry” by Katerina Musetti, except that the rhinestone chain is set with the smoky gray stones rather than the red, as shown in the book.
The necklace measures 15 ½” long and 1” wide at the widest area.
Now for the reason for the low price – condition. It looks like the ends have been broken off and re-soldered. It is a neat and very sturdy repair, but it is a flaw. Also, 3 of the smoky gray stones on the chain are darker than the others. That said, the repair is not obvious and probably would not even be noticeable when worn. If that doesn’t bother you, or if you are looking for an inexpensive piece of D&E (aka Juliana) for study purposes – this is your necklace!
Please view the photos carefully as they are part of the description and do show the flaws clearly. Sold as is.
