Vintage Juliana Large Glowing Amber Topaz Rhinestone Cuff Links Confirmed

Description

Juliana Large Glowing Amber Topaz Rhinestone Cuff Links MR DELIZZA COLLECTION
Good sized pair of Juliana cuff links. Done with gold toned metal set with glowing lucite rhinestones. The cuff links measure 1.25 inches. Great shape.
These cuff links are from the inventory warehoused after Mr DeLizza closed his factory.
When these arrived in one of the boxes from Jan I was quite excited. I had read all the spots in Mr DeLizza's book where he talks about D&E making cuff links. I have looked for years for them and never found any. Now I have a whole group of different styles of Juliana cuff links. So much fun! I can see now from looking at them that they were designed as accompanying pieces for other designs D&E did. I am sure these are just a few of the cuff link designs made by D&E. So now the hunt is on to find more.
Here is the history of how I came to have these pieces from Mr DeLizza's personal collection available for purchase.
Four years ago Cheryl Killmer was asked by Mr DeLizza to start to sell of some of his personal collection of jewelry. For those that don’t know Cheryl Killmer was the first person to put together the connection between the elusively tagged Juliana Jewelry and the jewelry manufacturer DeLizza and Elster. (The full story can be read in Mr DeLizza’s book on page 157). Since that time Cheryl has become a close personal friend of the DeLizza’s. She was the logical person to be asked to take on this task. Cheryl then listed the first few pieces of the jewelry for sale stating they were from his personal collection.
Now steps in our next major player in this story. Jan Romanchik one of the most prolific collectors of Juliana Jewelry. She sees this information and contacts Cheryl asking about this jewelry. She finds out the large scope of this jewelry and knows it can not just be sold off piece by piece without it’s story being told. So she steps in and purchased the entire collection of Mr DeLizza’s jewelry.
Jan enjoys this jewelry for a while. She then starts to look for a way to have the story of this jewelry told. She talks with people about a book but could not get the project off the ground due to books declining popularity and people preferring their information to be on line. Her and I talk and come up with the plan to share the story of these jewels and share some of them for sale.  I am documenting the story of each piece in online photo albums which will be available when finished for all to see and print out picture books of the jewelry.
When I am finished documenting pieces am able to then sell of some of them.  This is one of the pieces available for purchase.
Juliana Jewelry is never signed.
All of Mr DeLizza's jewelry is being documented both in a blog and in an online format that can be printed out in book format. I also have thank you cards hand made by him available for a certain $$ purchased.
