Vintage JULIANA Orange Figural Framed Lucite Starfish Collar Necklace IIJJ#6731

A distinctive vintage Juliana (D&E) collar necklace featuring sculptural orange lucite starfish, each individually framed in gold-tone metal cast in-house by DeLizza & Elster. This particular design holds added historical significance, as it was first discovered among items retained from Mr. DeLizza’s closed factory collection, providing a direct link to original production archive material. It is further supported by reference in Mr. DeLizza’s book (p. 140), where similar figural starfish designs are documented within the Juliana body of work.

The necklace measures approximately 21 inches in length, with the largest starfish measuring approximately 2" x 1.8", creating a bold, dimensional silhouette when worn.

Condition
This piece presents with authentic vintage wear consistent with age and use, including surface wear to the gold-tone finish at connection points and areas of natural contact when worn. Some starfish elements also show light wear, primarily to the reverse and less visible areas. These characteristics reflect its history and prior enjoyment and do not detract from its strong visual impact.

A striking and highly collectible example of Juliana figural design with documented provenance and sculptural presence.
