Vintage JULIANA for Dauplaise Carnelian Cab Medallion Bead Southwestern Necklace IIJJ#9055
Bold, artistic, and unmistakably Carol Dauplaise, this exceptional vintage statement necklace was manufactured by DeLizza & Elster (D&E) for Carol Dauplaise and showcases the quality and creativity for which both companies are known. As documented in Mr. DeLizza's reference book, Carol Dauplaise frequently commissioned jewelry from D&E, making these collaborative pieces especially desirable to collectors.
Three beautifully coordinated strands combine genuine carnelian gemstones, vibrant faux turquoise beads, polished silver-tone beads, sculptural puzzle-cut accent beads, and antiqued gold-tone spacers. Anchoring the design is an impressive hammered medallion featuring a large genuine carnelian cabochon that gives the necklace its striking Southwestern-inspired character. The combination of rich natural colors, mixed textures, and substantial construction creates a piece that is both dramatic and effortlessly wearable.
