Juliana Collector Record: Halo Maltese Cross Brooch & Earrings | IIJJ#8541 / #9755
This vintage Juliana (DeLizza & Elster) brooch and matching clip earrings set combines clear rhinestones with sparkling aurora borealis crystal bead dangles. The brooch forms a bold Maltese cross, with slender navette rhinestones radiating toward small clear rhinestone halos at the ends of its four arms.
Clusters of faceted AB crystal beads move over the rhinestone framework, giving the set its lively cha-cha effect and flashes of rainbow color. Warm gold-tone settings outline the clear stones. The matching earrings repeat the navette stones, curved rhinestone halos and bead dangles on a smaller scale.
