Les Bernard Collection

Les Bernard Jewelry was founded in New York in the 1960s and quickly earned a reputation for producing high-quality costume jewelry with bold, fashionable designs. The company created everything from elegant rhinestone pieces to striking sculptural and figural jewelry, using excellent materials and craftsmanship that continue to attract collectors today.

One interesting aspect of Les Bernard's history is that Juliana (DeLizza & Elster) manufactured a significant number of jewelry designs for the company. Many beautiful Les Bernard pieces can be identified as Juliana-made through their construction techniques and confirmed documentation. However, not all Les Bernard jewelry was produced by DeLizza & Elster, as the company also sourced jewelry from other manufacturers throughout its history. For collectors, this makes authenticated Juliana-made Les Bernard pieces especially desirable, combining the quality and design strengths of both respected names.
