On this piece
Juliana D&E is the house collectors chase hardest among mid-century costume makers, and this 1964 wide bracelet is a documented standout. In her definitive Juliana reference, Ann Pitman not only heaps praise on this piece but notes it’s among the widest Juliana D&E ever produced — a genuine statement of scale. The rhinestones run a gorgeous “heliotrope watermelon” palette — that shifting purple-to-pink-to-green play of color Juliana was famous for — all in place, all blazing, across a fabulous gold-tone finish. One honest note collectors already know: Juliana D&E never signed their pieces, using hang-tags instead, so authentication comes from construction and documentation rather than a mark — and this one has been verified. In excellent vintage condition. For the Juliana collector, a book-cited, exceptionally wide example is exactly the kind of piece that completes a serious collection. Bold color, real width, real provenance.
