Vintage Juliana Iridescent Sparkle Rhinestone Opalized Pleated Ribbon Brooch IIJJ#7337
A refined piece of wearable art and fashion history, this authentic vintage brooch by DeLizza & Elster embodies the elegance and craftsmanship of late 20th-century design. Presented in pristine, unworn condition, it features a softly sculpted pleated ribbon in a delicate cream tone, finished with a subtle iridescent sheen that catches the light with quiet sophistication.
At its center, luminous Aurora Borealis (AB) rhinestones radiate around a striking high-domed opalized white cabochon, all set in richly finished gold-tone metal. The composition is both sculptural and luminous, reflecting the elevated design sensibility of Judy DeLizza’s 1988 work.
