Vintage Juliana for Carol Dauplaise Gold Tone Statement Necklace IIJJ#9261

Bold, sculptural, and unmistakably elegant, this spectacular Vintage Carol Dauplaise by Juliana (DeLizza & Elster) statement necklace is a wonderful example of the dramatic, fashion-forward designs produced for the Carol Dauplaise line. As documented by Frank DeLizza in Memoirs of a Fashion Jewelry Manufacturer, Carol Dauplaise was among the designers who purchased jewelry directly from DeLizza & Elster, making these crossover pieces especially desirable to both Juliana and Carol Dauplaise collectors.

The necklace is centered by an impressive sculptural medallion with sweeping, folded lines that resemble a gracefully unfurling flower petal, a windswept shell, or a piece of flowing satin captured in gold. The dimensional design creates beautiful highlights and shadows, giving the focal a sense of movement that changes as it catches the light.

Adding to its luxurious appearance are beautifully graduated polished gold-tone beads accented with distinctive sculpted ribbed beads. These decorative accent beads introduce texture and rhythm to the design while complementing the dramatic centerpiece, creating a necklace that is both refined and unmistakably vintage.
