Vintage Juliana Design Articulated Black Enamel Dot Swallowtail Butterfly Figural Pendant Necklace IIJJ#9455

A dramatic vintage articulated butterfly pendant necklace from the DeLizza & Elster design story. This striking gold-tone necklace features a large openwork swallowtail butterfly accented with black enamel dot detailing and a dark enamel body, giving the piece wonderful contrast and bold visual impact.

The butterfly is articulated, allowing movement in the wings and adding to the dimensional, sculptural feel when worn. Its ornate filigree-style openwork and unusual swallowtail shape make it an especially eye-catching statement design.

This necklace is part of the documented DEC group: pieces designed by DeLizza & Elster, makers of Juliana jewelry, but manufactured by another company. The meaning of the DEC initials has not been documented.

This design is illustrated on page 323 of Juliana Jewelry – The Last Generation in a different colorway.
