Design & construction

The necklace uses a line of small dark blue rhinestones from which graduated round rhinestone drops hang beneath distinctive open heart-shaped scroll motifs. These curling metal elements lend an airy rhythm to the design. The coordinated round brooch places larger blue rhinestones around a central stone, with intricate silver-tone scrollwork joining the arrangement. The photographs record the settings, necklace hook closure and pin mechanism.

Collector significance & Weiss comparison

A brooch with the same design in a different color is documented in the Is It Juliana Jewelry database bearing the Weiss signature. It provides an instructive comparison for understanding DeLizza & Elster's work for Weiss and relationships among differently marked examples. This blue brooch and the accompanying necklace are unsigned; no Weiss signature is claimed for either piece.
