Vintage Juliana Figural Butterfly Copper Fluss Rhinestone Brooch IIJJ#7236

A spectacular Vintage Juliana (DeLizza & Elster) figural butterfly brooch featuring an unusual combination of crisp white skinny navettes, warm copper fluss cabochons, topaz and clear rhinestones, all set against richly textured gold-tone metalwork.

Measuring approximately 3.4 x 2.5 inches, this is a substantial butterfly with wonderful dimension and several distinctive DeLizza & Elster construction features.

The wings are formed with twisted wire framing, creating the textured gold-tone outlines that define the butterfly's dramatic shape. Numerous elongated white skinny navettes fill the wings, accented by sparkling topaz and clear rhinestones. Large copper fluss cabochons add warm peachy-copper tones and subtle internal banding that make this colorway especially striking.

Additional construction details include rhinestone-tipped antennae and a characteristic figure 8 body.

A different colorway of this same butterfly design is shown on page 107 of Juliana Jewelry – The Last Generation, where the twisted wire framing construction is illustrated.

The copper fluss stones also have excellent reference support. Ann Pitman devotes pages 223–226 of Juliana Jewelry Reference to DeLizza & Elster's Copper Fluss / Gold Fluss jewelry, including examples pairing these distinctive fluss stones with white navettes. The stones in this butterfly closely match those illustrated examples.

A beautiful collector piece combining a sought-after figural design with unusual stones and distinctive Juliana construction.
